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
Celebrates First 'Litigation Free' Village
India - Working out of an elegant old rented building in
Kerala's Thrissur, Jananeethi is an organisation that is difficult
to categorise. Started just over a decade ago by George Pulikuthiyil,
it battles for human rights, aids dispute resolutions, cares for the
despairing, propagates awareness of law and preaches social harmony.
"God is more palpably present in a court of justice than in a
monastery," believes 50 year old George. Strange notion for a man
who is in fact an ordained Catholic priest. He lists himself
formally as a Human Rights Lawyer. He is in reality a battler
against all injustices.
