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.

India Creates Model For
Sustainable Forest
India - From whence did Gautama, the Buddha get the idea
of proposing a life of equality, sharing and non-acquisitiveness for
the ills of society around him? Some believe it was by observing the
village people of India's jungles. Their virtues that the Buddha
prescribed to the world, include a set of canons that let them live
sustainably with nature's resources. After a lapse of memory, India
is now officially turning to these people for help. And
international experts are impressed by the results.

Rebuild Burundi Burundi - While the United
Nations and the western countries looked the other way, nearly one
million people were killed in genocidial ethnic violence over a six
month period ten years ago in Rwanda & Burundi, two small countries
in central Africa. Instability and displacement continue to plague
both countries and the regions immediately adjacent. At an
international meeting in January, hosted by the government of
Belgium and organized by the United Nations Development, donors from
several countries pledged US$ 1.03 billion over three years to
strengthen peace and security, promote reconciliation and spur

The Daffodil Principle
Several times my daughter had telephoned to say, "Mother, you
must come see the daffodils before they are over." I wanted to go,
but it was a two-hour drive from Laguna to Lake Arrowhead. "I will
come next Tuesday, " I promised, a little reluctantly, on her third
call.

the data from the airliner's flight recorders? Why was all of the steel
from the Twin Towers shipped out of the country before any investigation
was held? Even with an official congressional inquiry underway, why are
scores of critical questions NOT being asked?
