Your site is very helpful. Your creativity and imagination amaze me. With every new day I find something new to discover and learn. Antoine de Saint Exupery said: “If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea”. Through your generosity, I am learning how to learn to long for the endless immensity of the sea I compare to your interesting website, the Peace and Collaborative Development Network.
May God bless you!

Dear Craig,
I am happy for you to use my comments to promote the network.
The major benefit for me are the regular updates on developments and events in the field. There are many worthwhile discussions and blog entries which are promoted on PCDN. I also recommend PCDN to all of my graduate students for information on job opportunities and internships.
Thank you and your team for all the hard work that goes into maintaining this community.
Kind regards
Serge

At Peace Direct, we regularly make use of the the PCDN to make connections with people around the world. I would like to share a couple of recent examples:
At short notice, we needed to find a consultant to help with evaluation of a peacebuilding project in Sudan. I posted a blog not on the PCDN to see if by chance we would find anyone interested. Almost immediately, I started receiving emails and CVs from a range of incredibly well qualified and interesting people around the world, whom we were able to follow up with.
Our website, Insight on Conflict, is based on the reports of 'Local Correspondents' writing about the conflicts and peacebuilding organisations in their countries. We recently posted looking for new Local Correspondents for several new countries we would like to cover. Very soon we had over 50 applicants, many of a very high standard.
Also worth mentioning that Craig sometimes forwards round blog posts from our site to the PCDN readership, and the impact on our visitor numbers is very clear from our site statistics, showing how popular the site is.
Many thanks!

Permalink Reply by Jose Tenga on July 18, 2011 at 10:39am Wonderful idea, Craig and more 'grease' to you. I have found it truly refreshing to share and exchange experiences on this network in a clear and unbridled manner that reflects the real-life experiences of PCDN professionals in the field.
I have been in Sudan since June, 2010, a time of transition like no other in the history of conflict and post-conflict peace making in Africa and have had the opportunity of sharing with members on this platform. I truly appreciate this! So this is one major benefit I've had on this network and I hope we keep doing it!
Cheers,
Jose
