Isn't this cause for celebration ? Welcome SWEPA. Thank you Dolly for your willingness to promote an enterprising culture in your community.

Just who is SWEPA ?

They are "an NGO where formation was spearheaded by the Economic Committee of the Sabah Women’s Advisory Council in March 1993. It was registered with the Registrar of Societies in May 1994. SWEPA is an organization dedicated to furthering professional and entrepreneurial development and increasing opportunity through networking and programs to transform and enhance the image and professional standing of members in society."

Now to support you Dolly - anyone who knows anyone in Sabah or is going to Sabah, please attend or pass the word around.

I urge University students to quickly get in touch with SWEPA to see how they too can become volunteers to organize activities.

Cheers - looking forward to more Women Entrepreneur organizations to come forward.

Well done SWEPA.

Thank you for providing this support for Global Entrepreneurship Week.

Over the past month, I have been looking for ways to bring attention to Global Entrepreneurship Week, which is an effort to promote entrepreneurship as a career for young people in more than 60 countries around the world. I have been collecting the best of posts on entrepreneurship that I can find and consolidating them through links on a web directory.

I hope this event will bring a focus that will create millions more young people who take on the challenge of changing the world. I hope that this blog will be a source of encouragement to such people..
