Those friends working in Portuguese speaking countries (in Latin America, Europe, Africa and Asia), will find more materials about microcredit and volunteerism in our homepage: www.partners-bsbdc.org Then click the _latest inclusions and updates_ option or the same option also available in Portuguese.Now tell me, my friends, are you enjoying the new devel-l, now free from theoretical discussions and case studies analysis, and now dedicated only to announce conferences and job opportunities? Do you really think that we/you don't need to deepen the concepts that could make our work more effective? Or do you think that the development community that uses this list is already effective enough and doesn't need any further discussion??? At least here, in Brazil and Latin America (maybe also in Africa and Asia) it looks like that the development community needs to improve their concepts a lot in order to become more effective. I would like to hear from those friends who were complaining against conceptual discussions, involving economics, socio-cultural issues and development, if they are now satisfied with these bureaucratic messages that I am reading every day here... _____________________________________________________________ Joaquim Moura
