Capturing Compelling Stories from the FieldWhether writing a final report to a donor, a quarterly newsletter, or an annual appeal, many of us look upon these assignments with trepidation. We instantly become seasoned procrastinators.

- I have been living and working in Guatemala for the past seven years which has given me the opportunity to see humanitarian development up close, and to work with over 100 different nonprofits and donors. My work has created intense curiosity on my part in better understanding “What works in development?” This led to the formation of the Center for Sustainable Development (http://www.csd-i.org/ ).
Through teaching online courses at the Center, I've had the honor of working with students from over 60 different countries. What immediately struck me while working with this many different cultures, is that most of the students were working on projects that had very similar themes.
I have learned an incredible amount from these course participants; they've had excellent ideas for their projects and they've had access to information that I had not seen before. These students are of all different ages and different professions: donors, executive directors, field staff, business owners with a conscience, students, scientists, consultants and people who would like to transition into development work.
I began to realize that since such knowledgeable, talented (yet widely scattered) people were working on common problems -- that we should consider pooling our resources and begin collaborating with each other online to develop tools and solutions to the challenges we find in development.
Practical, simple tools and solutions that have shown evidence of having worked and that can be understood, implemented and maintained by a range of people types. These tools and solutions should be sustainable and impact-oriented. This led to the formation of this online development community http://developmentcommunity-csd-i.com/ .
We encourage people to visit our community seeking these types of solutions to development challenges. My hope is that they will be able to access information not only on their own, but also through the generosity of community members who reach out to help them.
Another goal of this development community is to share and collaborate with other members that have similar interests. Please join groups, connect us to your friends and colleagues, participate in discussions, post blogs, and upload documents, photographs, and videos. But most of all let's work together to fine tune the answers to “What works in development?”
Thank you for joining.

Dear Tim Magee,
I'm delighted to have myself registered at list with one of your Diploma courses which is RBA, DRR and Rural Development and so with this group. I am from Afghanistan and I work for Concern Worldwide and I look forward to learn from others the new things about development strategies and concepts and share my expereinces from the field with others. I would be really glad to build linkages with as many experts as possible.
I would appreciate any guiding notes that may make me to take full advantages of being registered with Center of Sustainable Development.
Kind regards,
Homayoon

Hello Tim
Thanks for the welcome message. I look forward to learning and relearning from you.
You mentioned the groups. How do I partake in their discussions? I mean, how do I join them?
I have another question, in regards to forming partnerships. The FAQ says thT I should forward you the names of 2-3 potential partners so that you may verify whether or not thay have already formed alliances. Where can I see the list of potential partners?
A bit worried about missing the partnership 'bus',
Regards,
Ram
