Hi, I am Kola working in the development sector (NGO) in Nigeria. My focus has been on advocacy for social and economic development at the grassroots level , social research, gender mainstreaming and a more healthy environment. Poor communities already doing something to assist themselves attract my attention and I am desirous of getting funding assistance for them and other less privilege people. I look forward to networking with like minds for the promotion of these development efforts. For the opportunity provided by Wiserearth, I say: MANY THANKS.

Hello, I'd just like to make a huge commendation to all at Wiserearth and to Paul H for his Blessed Unrest.
His ceaseless research into all the diverse things we humans are getting up to to put our home planet to rights is such a rich investment into all the resources we caring humans are making. A huge thank you to you all!
My personal endeavour is the creation of a (very local) Transition Town initiative in the UK, but a tricky one because 1. it's urban and 2. this district of West London (Kensington and Chelsea) is one of extremes of affluence and underprivilige.
The affluent seem not to want to know about impending risks from exorbitant energy, oil and food costs or from climate change; the underpriviliged hardly have the time or reason to see these issues as their priority.
The Transition movement though has spread in just 3 years from one UK market town to around 700 communities in over a dozen countries. Transition's credo is that when people come together to learn about environmental and energy issues and also to socialise, to play and to create joint activities, they are helped in imagining and laying foundations for a future that addresses the upcoming challenges in a positive and imaginative way. More at www.transitiontowns.org
I look forward to hearing from others who see spirited community as a powerful agent for positive change. Tell me about your community-building project or your aspirations. |

Hey Natalie - try clicking on your profile tab instead of the Dashboard tab. Then scroll down to your "Network" section - you should see any connections you might have to Organizations, People, Events, Resources, etc. Let me know if that answers your question.
