Zehra Rizvi commented on Peter Dörrie's blog post Make men a priority - to end GBV against women"GREAT piece, Peter. When I was working in Sri Lanka and we had some Self Help Groups that we started, the men came forward and asked why we didn't have groups for them as well. Which was a super fair point and since that time, I…"
Peter Dörrie replied to Sian Cowman's discussion Int. Dev. and Journalism in the group Media & Global Development"Wow, I didn't know that, what a shame. You could still try to work with the English GP branch though (you study in England as well, don't you?)."
Peter Dörrie replied to Sian Cowman's discussion Int. Dev. and Journalism in the group Media & Global Development"If you are interested in environmental protection you could also try volunteering for Greenpeace. I was a volunteer spokesperson for several local GP chapters and (at least in Germany) they provide excellent training for their volunteer activists in…"

Still better than donating the money in my view, but If you want to make profit (even a tiny one) you need to do your homework and research the…"
João Filipe Pereira Gonçalves commented on Peter Dörrie's blog post Microcredits revisited"I actually made my first microcredit transaction yesterday, on kiva. But I have to say that the double-financial-win on MyC4 is tempting."
Peter Dörrie replied to Sian Cowman's discussion Int. Dev. and Journalism in the group Media & Global Development"I'm also not really fitting your bill - I have recently finished studying development studies, international politics and peace studies and I have no taken the step to become a freelance journalist (if you want to compare notes, drop me an…"
Peter Dörrie posted a blog postMicrocredits revisited
In 2008 I started investing money in MyC4, a platform that lets you give out microcredits to entrepreneurs in Africa. It was a mixed experience, with financial losses and satisfying social profit along the way. Now I will return to the platform. Read why: http://ow.ly/9aJhoundefinedSee More
