 Look at our Future...

This Section follows the Community Politics Section and is meant to be both an "antidote" and an "Awards"/recognition page. We give all praises to these wonderful people who take the time and effort to create a new pathway for humanity to tread. It is VERY good. We highly suggest you (1) link up with these groups to support & extend their project and (2) use them as an inspiration to form your own group to "change the world", or (3) do all the above !! Go in Beauty.

END POVERTY BY 2015
-
Goals of the United Nation's Millennium Project:
* End Poverty and Hunger
* Universal Education
* Gender Equality
* Child Health
* Maternal Health
* Combat HIV/AIDS
* Environmental Sustainability
* Global Partnership
The Millennium Project was commissioned by the United Nations Secretary-General in 2002 to develop a concrete action plan for the world to achieve the Millennium Development Goals and to reverse the grinding poverty, hunger and disease affecting billions of people. In 2005, the independent advisory body headed by Professor Jeffrey Sachs, presented its final recommendations to the Secretary-General in a synthesis volume “Investing in Development: A Practical Plan to Achieve the Millennium Development Goals.”
"Eradicating extreme poverty continues to be one of the main challenges of our time, and is a major concern of the international community. Ending this scourge will require the combined efforts of all, governments, civil society organizations and the private sector, in the context of a stronger and more effective global partnership for development. The Millennium Development Goals set timebound targets, by which progress in reducing income poverty, hunger, disease, lack of adequate shelter and exclusion — while promoting gender equality, health, education and environmental sustainability — can be measured. They also embody basic human rights — the rights of each person on the planet to health, education, shelter and security. The Goals are ambitious but feasible and, together with the comprehensive United Nations development agenda, set the course for the world’s efforts to alleviate extreme poverty by 2015. "
United Nations Secretary-General BAN Ki-moon

EARTHDANCE
-
GLOBAL DANCE PARTY for PEACE. EarthDance is a global collective of international party promoters, visionary artists, musicians and supporters of electronic dance music who feel strongly about world peace and healing. The concept is to create as many parties around the world on one day, creating a united global dancefloor where we join as a one-world community to dance for peace and earth transformation. As a community, we actively support world peace by raising awareness for such causes as: the Rainforest Action Network; Survival International; the Tadra Project (Tibetan Orphanage); and the Tibetan House Trust to help exiled Tibetans.

The PANJEA FOUNDATION
-
The PANJEA Foundation's philosophy includes the following tenets: We, as people of the earth, can realize our fundamental interconnectedness and create a more unified world...a world in which exists, a mutually benefiting exchange of cultures, ideas, wisdom's and technologies that when shared can be used to better the whole of humanity. These include a Reverence for Life and agreeance with the notion that we are Humans First before we are any nationality, race, colour or religion.
These concepts are manifest in their Cultural Eco-Tourism Program in Zimbabwe which include sharing not only culture & music, but also aid in the development of Appropriate Energy and Permaculture Systems.
