GLOBAL NETWORKING DESK
WELCOME!!
The Global Networking Desk has been set up to provide a resource-networking service for the public in the area of creative business concepts, writing/publishing, development projects internationally, travel advice and coordination, basic cultural orientation and funding ideas.
Regularly I will highlight a current networking project. If you would like to know more you can contact me or you may have another project/ideas you would like to share.
07 July 2010. [new] Quite regularly, I am discovering excellent business initiatives in developing countries that would much appreciate some pro-bono website or graphics work. Should you know of such businesses that would be willing to become involved in any of these projects, then do let me know.

He has expertise in film-making, webs-design, graphis and drawings for the internet. Should you have any ideas or contacts then do let me know. Here is a clipping for Daniel's emails....
"Thank you for keeping your eyes open for whatever media contacts come your way. Any media contacts within the education fields, news/documentary and children's programming would be of interest to me." Daniel

10 December 2009 MICRO-FINANCE: There are many projects using micro-finacing methods very succesfully. It is a wonderful way for inviduals, families and communities to generate funding for living. Two of these projects which I recommend are: Shared Interest and Opportunity International. You might like to take a look at these and even consider becoming involved yourself.

03 December 2009 SAFETY BELTS FOR COACHES: While travelling recently a fellow passenger had considerable difficulty in fastening her safety-belt. The driver assisted and said they were always having a problem and from his point of view they were not the best of designs. I also have encountered such difficulties. When travelling frequently or long distances one does not really appreciate such challenges.
DO YOU HAVE ANY CONTACTS WITH SAFETY-BELT DESIGNERS/MANUFACTORERS WHO COULD POSSIBLY ASSIST IN THIS AREA?
