Information you will need before making application to the Peace through Business® 2009 program.
We are in search of mentors for the 30 women who travel to the U.S. If you are interested, please consider the following:
· We will match students in the program to a mentor with a similar business (type and size)
· Mentors and Students will develop an on-line relationship prior to the Student’s arrival
· Mentors are requested to attend the International Women’s Economic Summit on August 17-18, 2009 (Dallas, TX) to participate and work with their student (requested but not required)
· Students will live and work with their mentors from August 19, 2009 to August 23, 2009
· Students and Mentors will commit to maintain an on-line relationship, assisting each other for a period of one year.
Having fun is an understatement! Our past Mentors have told us that they never expected to receive so much in return. Mentor’s families benefit from the experience of living with someone from such diverse cultures by exchanging laughter, ideas, and customs. Some Mentors and Students have continued in mutually beneficial business ventures knowing they have gained life long friends.
Please consider becoming a Mentor for a woman business owner from Afghanistan or Rwanda. We are creating a pool of qualified women to act as mentors. When the Leadership Development participants are selected, we will begin the matching process.
You can make a difference – you can help save the world one woman at a time!
