Helping companies online in a very thoughtful way, with all tools availible / My wellfare foundations (it's not all about the money) / the TEDx events I'm organizing.

Helping to organize a TEDx in Baghdad. When sitting on the plane, my last safety 'grip'; the seatbelt, even was loose. Thrilling to the last minute :-). In the end, after a week of having fun in Baghdad, the outcomes were just breathtaking. Where usually TEDx events are concerned with the content, the immense wave of replies showed that the attendees (mostly inhabitants of Baghdad & surroundings) also got back hope of a quick recovery and proud about their country, it's history, fellow inhabitants and culture. In Octobre 2012, a new edition is planned!
