Enticements and Challenges During the CSR Activity
I love when i help someone in my life because it always make me feel good. Most of group work problems I do face is time conflict with the member of the group and sometimes lack of motivation because of so many reasons, but working with Saratu and Aliyu was incredible. I dint like so many things such as going out every day to meet with different people with different mentality and point of view. Some think we are here to con them, meaning while they did not comprehend CSR importance and what it might cause for their business. The most annoying and humiliating among all is the way Binani' s manager treated us (lies). Transportation is also another factor. None of my group members were mobile, So transportation money was really a big challenge for my group because it was toward the end of the month and every one is out of cash.
The beneficiaries of the project are happy but I think I am happier than them
Mgt 360 is my best course for this year because it is not only reading the book and passing the exams rather Jelena Zivkovic (instructor) tried to relate what student read with real life which I think is the best way of learning.

Honda's pitch: She's pretty in pin
This is completely out of topic or not related to the issues discussed previously in my blog. I think is good for me to share this with women viewing my blog.
Pink is the most lovely color and preferable color to almost every woman on this earth. In a seldom occasion or one out ten women would choose a different color rather than pink. So this is for you

Yasser Arafat's body exhumed
Ramallah, West Bank (CNN) -- The body of former Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat was exhumed Tuesday for tests to see if poisoning led to his 2004 death, according to WAFA, the official Palestinian news agency.
Palestinian officials
hope the tests will clear up questions over whether Arafat's death eight
years ago was the result of poisoning by the radioactive element
polonium which was later found on Arafat's personal belongings.
The Palestinian
Authority, which runs the West Bank, says it is convinced Israel is
behind any poisoning of Arafat. Israel has declined to comment on the
allegation.
Forensic experts from
France, Switzerland and Russia took their own samples for independent
analysis, said Tawfiq Tirawi, head of the Palestinian investigation
committee.
"The operation of getting samples from the body of the martyr Yasser Arafat went as planned," Tirawi told WAFA.

Bill Gates – The World’s Best Philanthropist
Microsoft’s founder Bill Gates has given away $28 billion since 2007 and has saved approximately 6 million lives.
Posted on by Jacob
He
is known as the founder of Microsoft, the world’s richest man, former
CEO of Microsoft and plenty of other things. But one thing about his
personality that’s missed many times is his interest and struggle for
the welfare of humanity.The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has donated 28 billion dollars in charitable works since 2007 which makes up 48% of Bill Gates’ net worth. The foundation works by bringing vaccines and improved healthcare facilities across the world especially in third world countries where such facilities and vaccines aren’t available. Funding such expensive projects is very difficult, even for some developed countries as they are too preoccupied in their own matters. This is why Bill Gates decided to take a stand and is still currently doing so.
Children across the world have given vaccines of potentially fatal diseases such as yellow fever, pneumonia, polio, whooping cough, HIB bacteria, measles and many more, saving at least six million lives over the past year and still counting. Bill Gates is not only donating his money to philanthropic causes but is also encouraging other fellow Americans to do the same. To do this he and his wife Melinda gates have created a foundation called the “Giving Pledge Foundation”.
Bill Gates also works and collaborates with international organizations such as United Nations, World Bank, UNICEF etc to provide cheap medicines to the third-world countries. The result of this effort forces the pharmaceutical companies to lower the cost of vaccines. Bill Gates has spent over 200 million dollars only for malarial vaccines so that they can be provided to third world countries.
Bill has joined the elite group of philanthropists which includes legendry donators such as Warren Buffett, Donna and Philip Berber and many more.
