Introducing the new Student/Mentor Blog

Welcome to our new “networking” tool. We encourage our Peace through Business® participants - students, mentors and supporters to get involved.

The purpose of this blog is to allow students to post business questions, problems or ideas. Then all participants will be able to read advice and recommended solutions from our wide audience of women business owners and supporters.

This is how it works:

We are very interested in exporting our products.We have no idea where to start. Is there anyone is currently involved in export/import that could give us some advice?
