Have Fun - Do Good

With women, you want to appeal to people's sense of group affiliation. It may be a mom group affiliation. It may be an environmentalist group affiliation. Not many groups do it. I sponsor her for a low monthly fee, and we write letters back and forth to one another. It may be animal rights. Kiva's a great example.

The way we do that is by asking every single woman around the world to sponsor one woman at a time by sending her $27 a month, along with a letter to start a communication link between the two women. She also goes through a vocational skills and business skills training track, where it ends up giving her tangible skills, so she can get a job.

Yesterday, I had the honor of participating in the 4th annual Women Who Tech TeleSummit that brings together women breaking new ground in technology who use their tech savvy skills to transform the world and inspire change. This is a common experience when you attempt to facilitate global presentations, discussions or peer groups.

My favorite social action was being a sponsor for Jacinta Onoro, a Nigerian woman participating in Women for Women International. Women for Women International supports women survivors of war in conflict and post-conflict areas (Afghanistan, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq, Kosovo, Nigeria, Rwanda, and Sudan).

The show ended, and I immediately signed up to be a Women for Women International sponsor. Honorata joined a small group of women who also suffered in war. In small groups, the women learned basic business and marketing skills. Sissel of the Sissel Byington Photography blog sponsors a women each year.
