@Bpeace: Traveling Mentor to Salvadoran Fast Runner Roberto of Web Informatica


" I joined Bpeace as a way to give back, in a small way, and to share what I've learned over the last 20 years as a serial entrepreneur. My daughter's experience in the Peace Corps also exposed me to the joy of working with others in developing economies. I've loved working with my Bpeace entrepreneur contact in El Salvador over the past year."

Port Washington, NY
Executive Director, Morgan Stanley

@Bpeace: Assisting with efforts to collect and analyze Fast Runner data

 
"I am a change management specialist focused on financial regulatory initiatives. I joined Bpeace because I found the concept of connecting industry experts to the entrepreneurs an interesting way to  help people trying to make a difference in difficult conditions."

 

@Bpeace: Pedal for Peace planning team; researching potential
communities in the U.S.

 
 
" I am a rising sophomore, currently pursuing a degree in economics with a joint major in human rights and possibly a minor in Spanish language. I joined Bpeace to learn more about the ins and outs of business while exploring a potential career in the nonprofit sector. I look forward to aiding and learning from the best !"
