"I joined Bpeace because I believe in Bpeace's mission.  I wanted to share my skills with hard-working entrepreneurs and help them grow their companies.  I also learned a lot from them in return.  I found my Traveling Mentor experience to be a pivotal point in my life, one that has put me on a path to annually helping small business owners, every year, somewhere in the world."

" I have been working in Afghanistan since 2005 for both the public and private sectors, focusing on private sector development and economic growth.  I have recently moved to the U.S., but I would like to still be involved with SMEs in Afghanistan or in similar post-conflict countries.  Bpeace has a good track record of working with entrepreneurs, and I would love to channel my help through Bpeace."
