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.

Conference Focuses On Empowerment
for African Women
South Africa - Over 100 distinguished representatives from
22 sub-Saharan African countries are met in Johannesburg, South
Africa, from 15-17 February at a high level workshop organized by
the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), to discuss ways and
means of promoting the role of women in the development process in
Africa. A unique aspect of the workshop, which examined ways to
improve the effectiveness of gender mainstreaming and the
advancement of women, was that it involved the active participation
of a wide range of stakeholder organizations, including
international organizations, governments, women;s community action
groups, NGOs, donor agencies, foundations and the private sector.

Vegetable Fuel Oils Take Root In
India India - Several layers below the one that
main media normally sees and reports on is the village level at
which people are left to their own devices. They have no lobby,
little money, no choices like emigration, but simply a commitment to
bettering their lives. It is at this level that common people are
finding innovative solutions to their everyday problems such as
energy.

My Journey To Healing
After a Terrorist Killed my Only Daughter
by Bud Welch
When my only daughter, Julie, was killed, I joined a "club" that
I wish had no members. The price of admission is too high. I know
the pain of losing a loved one because of a senseless act of
violence.

Mereon
www.mereon.org
Mereon is a powerful model of Holistic Relationships that was discovered
in 1987, an architectural wonder richly textured with profound meaning
and reason. Discovered in a Near Death Experience, this structure has
been intensively explored in the exacting worlds of science since 1995.
Demonstrating how matter interacts with matter that is visible, it is
showing us how our senses interact with what is visible and invisible.
In this, Mereon’s connection between invisible, death, and visible,
life, is absolutely indivisible. It continues to lead to credible new
views of and into our Universe.

Center For Visionary Leadership
www.visionarylead.org
Visionary leaders are the builders of a new dawn, working with
imagination, insight, and boldness. They present a challenge that calls
forth the best in people and brings them together around a shared sense
of purpose. They work with the power of intentionality and alignment
with a higher purpose. Their eyes are on the horizon, not just on the
near at hand. They are social innovators and change agents, seeing the
big picture and thinking strategically. There is a profound
interconnectedness between the leader and the whole, and true visionary
leaders serve the good of the whole. They recognize that there is some
truth on both sides of most polarized issues in our society today. They
search for solutions that transcend the usual adversarial approaches and
address the causal level of problems. They find a higher synthesis of
the best of both sides of an issue and address the systemic root causes
of problems to create real breakthroughs.

Solar Village Institute Inc. - Independent
Renewable Power
www.solarvillage.com
Independent renewable energy is the way of the future. It's inherently
efficient, with no losses in long-distance transmission. It taps into
sources of energy that are already there and will never run out. And
solar, wind and micro-hydro technologies are vastly less polluting than
any other available sources of energy. To have your own energy source is
to be truly independent. You're prepared for emergencies, and you're
invulnerable to storm-induced power outages. You can run remote systems
far from any power line. And you can start cutting your electric bills!
