I volunteer with Business Council for Peace (BPEACE), a nonprofit organization that recruits American business people as volunteers to mentor small, fledgling businesses in Afghanistan and Rwanda. Bpeace also works to fund viable new or expanding businesses in Afghanistan and Rwanda. American business people that volunteer with Bpeace review and evaluate business plans, or just answer a few questions from the entrepreneurs (via email or Skype). This volunteering is done via the volunteers' home or office -- no travel needed! It takes just a few hours of your time.

Right now, BPEACE urgently needs people who run or manage businesses in the following areas to help review applications and assess whether the applicants have potential to grow their businesses, OR, to answer just a few questions from people starting businesses in these areas:

• Construction
  
• Asphalt/Gravel
• Auto parts
• Tool making (out of scrap metal)
• Franchising

Please pass this info on to anyone you know who manages or owns a business in these aforementioned fields. If they want to help, they can write me at jc@coyotecommunications.com and I will put the person in contact with the right person at BPEACE.
