Our Purpose
Our intent is to provide you with timely news and resources from the
leading edge of human achievement. The conventional media focuses almost
entirely on individual or collective human failure and dysfunction. While this
represents only a tiny fraction of the human experience, it dominates the media
and therefore molds our individual thoughts and collective consciousness. Since
we know that "form follows thought," it is only logical that as we continue to
collectively focus on failure, we will continue to create more of the same.
The world faces many challenges and it is important to acknowledge these and
deal with them. The conventional press and most of the alternative press are
doing an excellent job of bringing these to our attention.
Our intent is to report on events, activities, achievements, project and
people who represent the highest and best of human endeavor and what we can
achieve, both individually and collectively. We believe that this represents the
true nature of who we are.
Our purpose is not only to inform and inspire, but to provide cross cultural
models from around the world as to what people are doing to solve world problems
and create new options.
Positive News completely shares these aims and objectives with those of GVN.
We see the Global Village as those throughout the world who have seen a vision
of a new era and are dedicated into bringing it into reality.

Be Positive Do Something Positive Day
DATE: March 1, 2007.
LET’S MAKE MARCH 1, 2007, THE FIRST MOST POSITIVE DAY IN THE HISTORY OF
OUR COUNTRY AND OUR WORLD!
It is a day for people to be positive, to think positively and then to
do at least one act of kindness for another person or charitable
organisation. The president's office is considering issuing a
proclamation for the day. And for those wonderfully positive minded
folks in other parts of the world, such as you good folks in England,
maybe you could get the leaders of your country or countries to
recognise the day and promote it so it could be a universally positive
day for all to experience and enjoy! More information is featured on my
webblog: HaroldSays

San Pedro Carnival
DATE: 1 March 2007 to be confirmed
The whole of Belize celebrates Carnival, but nowhere throbs quite like
San Pedro on Ambergris Caye. On the opening day, a parade and cultural
displays kick off the celebrations. The carnival is a time for grown-ups
to behave like kids and indulge in a series of practical jokes, and
everyone attempts to cover each other in a cocktail of lipstick, paint
and coloured powder. The final day is also the official day and the aim
of the game is to "paint" as many people as possible - a custom rooted
in the universal carnival tradition of disguise and role
transformations. Stay indoors if you don't want to end up all the
colours of the rainbow, as paint "revenge" soon gets everyone around
covered.
