IB gift items: IB principles into practice

Edwardb — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 06:36:41 -0700

The IB store team has, in a small way, put IB principles into practice through the IB gift items range. An unfortunate result of the IB’s new visual identity was a stock of obsolete IB gift items featuring the old IB logo. Not wishing to waste the opportunity, IB staff looked into whether the unwanted goods could be donated to a worthy cause.

Global Poverty

neeru Dutta Sharma — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 22:21:40 -0700

Global poverty is a very sensitive issue.Poverty is a disease created by people themselves.I am talking about that kind of poverty where people have no food,no shelter and no clothes.They look for food from dust bins and drink drain water but they do not die so fast and keep on producing more poor people on this earth.

These people do not believe in doing work for food or clothes or for shelter but keep cursing their destiny and God.
