NPOKI, NetHope ... and what's next?

Remember, from my previous blog, the first ray of hope for NGO collaboration was NetHope.org

Recently came across a second ray of hope ... small non-profit called NPOKI (Non Profit Organizations Knowledge Initiative) based in New York City ... yes, the name is a mouthful (no, not New York City) and can get little tongue-tied trying to pronounce it, but don't let that get in your way, and while I am at it also don't let their website put you off.

It is a collaboration of international health organizations, funders, partners, and in-country nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). The members are at the forefront of providing access to safe and affordable health services globally, including a focused response to the spread of HIV/AIDS.

They do some great work. Some of their work has the potential for a wider, broader impact, i.e. can be leveraged by other NGO's. I will be digging into their solutions further over the coming weeks.

More to follow

Life is too short to cry, whine or whimper ...

Life is too short, work as if it was your first day; forgive as soon as possible; love without boundaries, laugh without control and never stop smiling

... do not know who crafted this but it is very apt and captures the essence of how one can improve one's self across all facets of one's life.

It would be bliss if only I could follow all of it most of the time if not all of the time.

The first part is a given, 2nd part is easy - am a workaholic, 3rd part takes a little work, 4th part is easy, the 5th part is something I need to keep reminding myself to do, and similarly for the last part ... other than that it is as close to bliss as one can get despite life's trials and tribulations.
