The NGO has become a very common term in India. It is amazing how these self governed bodies are working in India for its upliftment. Ngo makes the country people aware about their basic rights that very few people are aware of and therefore has led to the stagnancy in the growth of the country itself. Very few people have the right amount of knowledge about various ngo schemes that are managed by the central government. These organizations have become this SHG voice that raises its voice for the people till they are heard by the proper authorities. http://www.ftsindia.com/

Singapore: Star form the east
Singapore was ranked 3th as destination city by more than 107 million people of the global workforce in 2011. To compare, Singapore was ranked 6th in 2009. By far Singapore is the most popular Asian city to work (Shanghai ranked 11th).

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos.
