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.
In The News…
Hello Shalom, Hello Salaam, ...
Hello Peace!
Israel/Palestine - There is a new conversation breaking out
between Israelis and Palestinians thanks to a new, toll-free telephone
service. Large numbers of Arabs and Jews are picking up the phone and
talking to people “on the other side” about reconciliation, tolerance
and peace. Over 48,000 calls were placed in less than three months.

Returning Home, Successful Star
Brings New Life To Ghetto Roots
USA - Kenny Gamble could have settled almost anywhere
after a songwriting career that earned him and partner Leon Huff 175
gold and platinum records for producing hits like "Love Train" and
"Me and Mrs. Jones." Instead, he went home to South Philadelphia.
Looking to give something back to the city that inspired his music,
Gamble in 1990 shrugged off fear of crime and drug dealers and moved
into a rehabilitated brick row house in the blighted neighborhood
where he grew up. Since then, the co-architect of the Philadelphia
Sound has been on a mission to rebuild the area, block by block.

granted those wishes. That is the mission of Second Wind
Dreams --to inspire nursing homes across the world to create Dream
Weavers out of staff members.

Editorial
Is GVNR Becoming Too
Political?
(Editors Note: Recently two of our subscribers, who had been
forwarding GVNR to their mailing list, raised a question about the
politically biased tone that GVNR had taken on during the past year.
It was an excellent question which I'm sure others may have also
felt. So I decided to use this as an opportunity to openly and
frankly discuss where I am, as editor and publisher, with all
this..... Michael)
