“There were twins born – a girl and boy. The girl was very weak and dying. Both twins were separated and lying in two different incubators, however one day a nurse broke the protocol and put the twins together. The moment the brother was laid by his sister’s side, he hugged her and within hours her heart beat stabilized and her health improved. Eventually she was strong enough to live again.”
As Afghan-U.S. relations continue to deteriorate, it’s hard to imagine that the two nations can find political common ground. But the language of business is a common one. Stronger business (coupled with innovation) is a powerful driver for peace.
For Afghanistan, female entrepreneurs may be critical to drive this peaceful future. In a study recently conducted by the Peace Dividend Trust (PDT), which works with Afghan entrepreneurs to match them to local market opportunities, out of the 7,000 Afghan companies in its national database only 242 are owned by women. However, three to five new women-owned ventures join its registry each month. According to PDT’s Executive Director, Scott Gilmore, “The untold story in Afghanistan is the rise of female entrepreneurs. They are turning into a powerful force for growth and stability.”
Good Evening fellow Tumblrs,
I am no stranger to curating content. I wanted to tell you all about my other tumblrs. Although I adopted a no need to explain motto earlier this year, I will go on to explain that apart from my day-to-day pitching, writing, and raising awareness and capital, I tumble quite frequently.
Why?
Mostly for my own need to archive content for research and trend purposes and because of the shared content value. I try to upload information I come across my data base of industry blogs and websites. I also reblog content regularly.
So, if you are so kind and keen on:
Earth, the living planet, animals, nature, sustainability, nutrition, neuroscience, space, healthy eating, humanity please visit: DIGITAL OCEAN
If you are a creative, ambitious Angeleno, love coffee, into TV programming, Film, documentary film, Hollywood, please visit and follow: COFFEETVFILM
I use DIGITAL BIN as my catch-all tumblr and mini blog posts. Hopefully in a few more months my permanent website will be live and I will be ready to share parts of my project. (excited to finally reveal what is up!)
Thanks again for the follows and mentions friends and fellow tumblrs,
Farida :)
PS:
is a stockpile of headlines, images and inspiration via the world wide web. I share some of my faves from tumblr Creatives, scanned headlines, mini-inspiration, my photos and random what-nots.
