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.

Positive News was handed the guardianship
of Global Village News and Resources in summer of 2004. Although we would like
to continue to make the archives available to subscribers and readers we would
like to point out that stories published prior to issue 89 were not under our
editorial guidance and would like to make a distinction that these are not
necessarily a reflection of the current opinions of our editorial team.

American Refugees Find Scandinavian Safe Haven
Sweden - Where do US officials find
safety when threatened by the current US government? In a bold move that
has raised many eyebrows and not a few questions, Sweden recently
offered free-speech refuge as 'protected guests' to U.S. ex-bureaucrats
who have been cowed by the current American regime.

How Many Women Does It Take To Save A Planet?
Global - Perhaps that is an open
question. But organizers of "Gather The Women" are attempting to
reach out to one billion women with the simple message; "You Can
Make A Difference In the World And The Time Is NOW!" Described as a
global movement to connect and support women worldwide who are
committed to transforming the planet, 'Gather The Women' is planning
a prime event for March 8th - International Women's Day - to link
and unify women around the world for purposeful action on behalf of
humanity and the planet.

Out Of Africa - The Fastest Growing Economy In the World
Botswana - Europeans once called
Africa "The Dark Continent." But then, 'westerners' once joked about
products coming out of Taiwan and Korea. Not anymore. Botswana is a
landlocked nation in southern Africa that's two-thirds desert, and
it has been the fast growing economy in the world since 1966, when
it gained its independence from Britain. Its economy has expanded an
average of 7% a year since 1966 according to the World Bank. And it
continues to expand despite a rampant AIDS epidemic that has brought
life expectancy down from 65 years in 1991 to only 39 years in 2001.
But its approach to AIDS has equaled its aggressive economic growth.
