	Anneliese Passion:- alternative healthcare and spirituality In November 2003 I started www.heilquellen.at as a hobby just for fun.

	Christabelle - "I was born in India, grew up in Canada and now live in Germany. I have more than ten years’ experience working in collaboration with several organisations, associations and local committees in the field of global, multicultural and human rights education, for youth as well as adults. During my academic endeavours I enrolled in courses and volunteered with groups/organisations that increased my awareness of the world and helped me to understand the role I play on the world stage as well as to develop an understanding for cultural diversity and respect for various world views. I am dedicated to quality education and training, to promote understanding, attitudes and actions to protect human rights, and to foster the development of free and just communities. Since 2001 I have been resident in Hamburg, where I work as a freelance English language trainer and communication skills coach. I have the necessary patience, an understanding of the difficulties adult learners have in expressing themselves in a foreign language, and the ability to create a relaxing, friendly environment conducive to learning, coupled with the excellent knowledge of the subject matter. My content-based training and soft-skills coaching provide individuals with the tools they need to face the future and to become competent global business citizens.
	Claudia My passion:- To help people connect with their power and to express it freely in an individual and creative way. The project:- In 1997, while I was teaching the Alexander Technique and dance to some of the artists of Cirque du Soleil I began to develop my own method, called Healing Movement. Healing Movement is a creative movement therapy that reconnects yourself with your body and thus with the rhythm of nature and the power of life. With the help of HM you bring creativity into your daily life. I truly believe that all the answers to a healthier life and world lie within us and it is on us to find the door that leads us to our true self. I love to support people of all ages during this process, especially kids and artists. The project is to run my own practice located near Vienna and to travel to share my experiences on a more global level. As well as expressing my own creativity through my paintings. One of my future projects is to realize a public “Garden Eden” .
	at school, Dagmar - was convinced that she would later be a great Civil Engineer in bridge constructions, and the boss of Greenpeace. However, the love for language (inherited from her grandmother, and gratefully shared with her) eventually led her to studies in Dutch linguistics. During these studies, she discovered the striking and fascinating similarity between natural and artificial languages, which triggered her interest in computer science. Soon she realized that she wanted a job in computer science and that she would have to do it all on her own, as she had no time left to start a second study. She decided not to wait until her studies in linguistics were finished and applied for a job at ING bank as programmer trainee. The traineeship was extremely hard, as she lacked any former education in the field, but in the end she was hired. And in the same year she got her Ma in linguistics. Looking back, she would not recommend this shortcut, but it shows that you can choose to follow a completely different path if you really want to. Right now, after having been in the IT field for ten years now, she is a Software Architect with Capgemini, a global organisation for consultancy, technology and outsourcing services. Her work has brought her to Mumbai (India) and to the heart of the EU in Brussels, where she lived and worked for a year in a project consisting of 15 different nationalities, and got the chance to give a presentation to the European Commission Besides work, Dagmar has a passion for the arctic. She is planning on travelling through all countries on the arctic circle in the next five years and then as "grand finale" reach the magnetic northpole itself, by cross country skiing. She has already started with a visit to Spitsbergen. See also www.projectnorthpole.eu

	Demi My line of business often creates a stir and prompts thousands of questions.... Personal Grooming after all is something that is yet to be acknowledged as an industry of its own. People mistakenly relate it to beauty salon`s and spa`s. It is both connected and not connected. It pertains to personal hygiene and beauty/ personal care but the business approach is more focused/ specialized, business concept is revolutionary and far more interesting. The Personal Grooming industry has its serious roots in Dubai; spearheaded by a brilliant fashionista who is very passionate about glamour and perfect grooming. Perfect grooming means perfectly styled hair, prefectly manicured nails, clean and sleek personal appearance. I have worked with the pioneer in the industry as the general manager of its distribution arm. I managed the whole of the middle east market, catering to Airlines, High End Retailers, 5 Star Salons, 5 Star Spa`s and 5-7 Star Hotels. I managed 3 of the world`s High End Grooming Products namely Essie- New York, The Art of Shaving- New York and Vitaman- Australia. My top clients were Burj Al Arab, Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi, Harvey Nichol`s- K.S.A., Areej, Paris Gallery, Etihad Airlines, Emirates Airlines, etc.... My direct exposure to the industry and close interaction with the players have given me the ability to identify the gap in the market and the knowledge on the weakness, strength and challenges of the existing investors. My creed in life is to make a remarkable difference and I was freely giving advises to all my clients. Advises however is not enough as they need a full solution to stay afloat in the competition. I was handling the whole middle east market which keep me rather extremely busy and so I cannot accomodate my clients needs. This has prompted me to create Illuzionne. Armed with my expertise and of another grooming specialist who is my founding partner, Illuzionne aims to make dreams happen by bringing in a full solution business consultancy (conception of business concept, business plan, creating the standards and procedures of the services, project management, marketing coordination, training, procurement of goods and services, initial HR planning and execution) and revolutionary business concept. Illuzionne will hand over the business to the client when it is fully operational. Illuzionne is currently negotiating 3 projects in the Middle East and has been garnering interests from potential clients. The Grooming is industry is growing in a rapid rate in the Middle East particulary the United Arab Emirates. This trend is predicted to soon conquer the European Market which I believe will happen anytime soon. The whole world is slowly being converted into leading a healthy lifestyle and well being which is vital in achieving a longer and happy life. I gladly welcome all of you to join me in promoting The Personal Grooming Industry.

	Ebele My Passion - Fine and Media Arts The project:- I discovered my passion at a very tender age. This was the strong need to study animation or to become animation. However, there were no animation schools in Nigeria. So I studied Fine and Applied Arts with a specialization in Graphics Design/Illustration. In 1996 after a very successful exhibition, I visited Germany for 3 weeks. On getting back home I started applying to Universities in Germany, but was only able to get a student's Visa in 2000. On arriving here, I registered for Communication Design in Düsseldorf. In 2003, I came across the International Film school Cologne, where I immediately applied and was accepted for an intensive further training in 2D animation. It was a very long hurdle but only after completing the intensive training in 2004 did I have the feeling that my life has really begun. In the past one year, I have been able to win two promotional prizes aimed at co-productions. It is a different challenge but I see it as more of a fulfilment to finally be challenged in a field where I had always wanted to be.

	Fazila - My Mission Statement: Let’s go back to primal man, primal woman, invite Mother Nature, take the good, leave out the bad, and mix it with the world and start all over again. It’s time for a change ! By parentage and birth I am from Bangladesh and emigrated with my family at the age of 10 months to the UK where I was raised and educated. I moved to Malta in April 2004 for certain reasons namely to move the island forward ranging from attitudes, cultural mix and business gains due to its favourable geographical positioning linking me worldwide. In general I feel that the world and society have forgotten many basic values due to factors such as being brainwashed by the media along with society dictations. Basic human values are becoming extinct resulting in rivalry, greediness and a disregard from one person onto the next. Equality is continuously being fought for. People are being judged all the time by their wealth and possessions, status and connections forgetting that it is the person within which holds the key to a successful life, and a better health. There is nothing wrong with wealth; it is our attitude towards it and what we class as wealth. I’m quite energetic regarding my passions on certain issues believing that if other like-minded people joined hands and took a stance we would make this world a much better place. My main focus is to bring us to the New Age via several means and connections from various fields which will in time bring us to this era. It is not too far away and we are already on the road. I am happy to have the representations and contacts I have however it is not enough as my main aim eventually is to create a ‘satellite’ of collective talents which is why I continue to search. I am a very compassionate, understanding and a non-judgemental person with an understanding of most cultures due to my background continuously seeking solutions in order to improve morale and well-being via the mind and heart using Karmic Law and spiritualism as my tool. In the meantime I will continue my mission across the globe. After all, the world has mixed and still continues to. We can all have whatever we want in our lives if we wish for and believe in it. Courage, determination and ‘feeling loved’ help a lot. In turn this guidance gives strength for people to carry on and eventually go higher and in return they are rewarded with the fulfillment in their lives and own world. After all, how high is the sky? Can we touch it? touchtheskywithfazila

	Katarina My Passion: bible4kids - a worldwide project The Project: In October 2001 – at the age of 42, after raising my kids - the first idea of a digital ecumenical project came to my mind. The vision was based on the talents of four people I know well. The whole life of Jesus should be presented in an animated way on an interactive CD-ROM for today´s children, in whose lifes a PC is 'standard'. The Progress: In 2004, I found a patron for the project, and got academical approve for the “Kinderbibel” and in 2005 we had the first public presentation in the Vienna University. Within five years, three animated, interactive CD-ROMs became realised by my four-persons-team, to which about 35 co-workers were added. I was managing the team, the staff-member, the finances, the work and the partners. For the co-financing, production and the distribution of the German CD-ROMs I have found two partners as co-producers. In February 2007 I was asked to manage the three Bible4kids-books in German: a text-book, a picture-book and a painting-book. Besides, at the Frankfurt book Fair, I found co-producers for the Spanish, Portuguese and Slovene version of the CD-ROMs. My Motivation: Initially my motivation was to make this vision come true, but at the same time it was a kind of adventure. Out of budget after the second CD-ROM my team motivated me to move on and now co-partners many others are pushing me forwards.

	Kimi - I had wonderful experience that I could help to revive a small hospital which was in the red when I was working for just 2 years. They wanted to be in black of course. However, they couldn’t that because they didn’t make new idea. After I started my job as a head nurse in the hospital, I also started one project between our hospital and the board of education of the city. It not only succeeded as an event but also it helped to revive the hospital. Why I could do that? It was because I had many kinds of experiences before I worked at the hospital. I had worked at a big university hospital and also went abroad to study in the USA. And also I had many experiences working as a volunteer. Those kinds of things supported me. Now I have new idea in my future!

	My - From an office apprentice to an academic “If you don’t climb the mountain, you will not see the plain.” My Kiet TRUONG, was born on July 17, 1980, as an economic refugee – just in time – in Salzburg. Her father Quac Hung LU is a Chinese descent, her mother Thuy Hang TAO is a Vietnamese descent. Many years of her adolescence she had to compete as the only girl in her family amongst her 3 brothers. Maybe this makes her to a tough woman what she is now. Probably this made her the tough woman she is now. At the age of 15 she broke up grammar school, moved out of home due to cultural differences with her parents and started to work as an apprentice in an office. After 2 years she regretted breaking up school, so she started to attend a commercial academy for employed people in Salzburg. Technology has fascinated her at all times. After 4 years at the commercial academy for employed people and her qualification for University entrance, she decided to study “Business & Information Management” at the “University of Applied Science & Technology” in Salzburg. At the same time she entered her first job in IT & telecom industry, starting as an active sales person due to her previous working experience as a sales assistant. Her heart started to flare up for this challenge as a very young woman in the IT & telecom industry. Due to her previous school career she often had doubts about being able to handle her double life. In addition to qualifying for entry to University, the demands of her job also increased substantially, adding to an already heavy burden. She was pushed and mentored by her associated lectures and her solid social network has built her fundament to graduate at the “University of Applied Science & Technology” in Salzburg and to specialize on Chinese markets, giving her a reason to realize herself and to learn more about her father’s culture, whom she had never seen up to that point. This is the source of her intrinsic motivation for what she is doing and representing today. My TRUONG has graduated as the youngest part-time student at the “University of Applied Science & Technology” in fall 2005 with over 10 years working experience in fulltime positions and written her master thesis for Sony NetServices about the Chinese market.
