Dear Supporters of PCDN
Thank you again for very generously making a payment to support PCDN, we truly appreciate it. Your support will help PCDN continue to grow and thrive as we plan to expand our work in several areas including:
To date about 850 people out of 29,000 have made a payment (which is less than 3.0% of our membership. Our goal is to reach 40% of membership supporting PCDN, in any amount). Please help us increase the number of people who assist PCDN.

Permalink Reply by Yekaterina Badikova on April 24, 2012 at 6:07am I think that before receiving it must be giving. So I believed I had to give my support to the PCDN as soon as I expect receiving the informational support from it in the future, and also because I've got from the network some info I needed before.
Although I never applied for a grant or scholarship announced in the PCDN, I did consider to support the network financially, immediately upon I returned to a paid job after 3 years of volunteering as a president of a charity. Information available from the PCDN emails is very important for those who are working or planning to work in the development sector in any part of the world. I often forward PCDN's grant or scholarship announcements to the individuals and organizations who might be interested to apply. And, thanks to the PCDN, I've accessed a number of publications that are within my professional and research interests.
There are not so many networks similar to the PCDN. So I am planning to continue my support, even if it would be quite modest. Just I hope my and the other PCDN members' contribution will result in the further development and flourishing of the network. And I want this network to exist and to flourish.

Many things in life we take for granted... These things just happen to always be there, so they become the least of our worries. We never imagine not having them, so, I suppose the less we contemplate how we are enriched by them. PCDN is there before I turn on my email - at least five to ten times daily informing me of something I didn't know – news; current events about our world, the UN, world peace, the practice of conflict management and peaceful resolution… For me, PCDN is ‘fraternal’... it informs us of our profession - giving us world views on many perspectives... Think about it...what professional association can you join for $19.95? Common! This is a pretty damn deal...
Peace,
Emmanuel

Thanks for your very kind feedback and support, it is much appreciated. Support from PCDN members is crucial to helping us to grow, thrive and provide this unique platform for engagement, learning and action. We encourage everyone (individuals and organizations) to consider what they can afford to give to help us (and of course realize not everyone can which is why we have the free option).

Thank you for the very kind words and feedback, much appreciated. If there are any specific programs or opportunities you learned about via PCDN please let us know.
Thank you Craig
I am one of the members who does not do the payment yet. I do not want to lose the connection with PCDN. I want to send US$ 25 , but it seems that the transfer fee is bigger than the amount I plan to send to PCDN.
I hope I can fine the way how to send the fee from Aceh, Indonesia. I am planning to go to Canada tomorrow on May 31. May be I can ask my friend to do the transfer from there.
Please advice me with this.
Best Regards

We know the intl wire fees are very high and some people cannot afford to pay or are located in countries where it is too expensive. That is why we are keeping the free option as we want to ensure everyone has access. If you can send a payment via Canada great, otherwise just request a free renewal.
Thank you, PCDN community, for your dedication and the unknowable hours spent assimilating and posting this treasure resources.
As our peacebuilding world and relationships expand, we treasure all the new relationships the PCDN community gives us the opportunity to establish.
Several times a day, we simply go through the content-rich messages to keep learning and initiating new relationships on every continent. . .appreciating PCDN more.
