StarChild Science Lessons
http://www.starchildscience.org
"When you decide to homeschool your own, you don't know it but you have just decided to gift yourself in the process. I can't think of another opportunity in life that demands this degree of giving. There is no other gift more valuable than giving your time, energy and a love for learning to your own child."

TimeDollar Institute 
http://www.timedollar.org/
"Time Dollar USA’s mission is to build local economies and communities that reward decency, caring and a passion for justice. Time Dollars began in a hospital room in intensive care. Since then, they have grown, developed and flourished in the U.S. and overseas. One hour of contribution = one Time Dollar. That’s it! With Time Dollars, everyone who gives can earn, and everyone has something to give. I help you, you help another, and that person helps another. Soon there is a web of caring, a new network of support. For those who are well-off as much as those who are poor, Time Dollars bring a new quality of community to daily living.

Eden Alternative 
"A child's giggle.. a cockatiel's screech.. a bouquet's sweet fragrance.. the thumping tail of a dog greeting his elder master..
..these are a few of the elements in a new strategy many nursing homes are adopting to build caring communities for the living, rather than mere treatment institutions for the dying.
It's all part of the Eden Alternative, the brainchild of Dr. William Thomas, a physician dedicated to transforming the sterile environs that breed loneliness, helplessness and boredom into fertile gardens for nurturing social and spiritual growth for nursing home residents and staff alike."

The Humanity Initiative
"Encouraging people to understand this planet as our common home.  The Humanity Initiative (THI) is a small, independent, non-profit enterprise, founded in February 1987."

Synergic Earth  
"We believe that we must learn to work together. This means we must become synergic humans. Synergy means working together—operating together as in Co-Operation— laboring together as in Co-Laboration—acting together as in Co-Action. The goal of synergic union is to accomplish a larger or more difficult task than can be accomplished by individuals working separately. We are committed to a world where I win, you win, others win and the Earth wins. Win-Win-Win-Win."

Good Morning World
"I have always said if I were Secretary General of the United Nations, I would start each day with a message to you, my dear friends and I would call it "Good Morning World": A daily radio broadcast to the people of our dear planet about an idea or dream for a better world. Each morning, waking up to a positive message of hope and beauty can help brighten our world and nurture so much more."

Green Cross International
"Green Cross International was founded by Mikhail Gorbachev in 1993, building on the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro and Agenda 21. Green Cross is a non-governmental, non-profit organization. Our mission is to help create a sustainable future by cultivating harmonious relationships between humans and the environment. Green Cross concentrates its efforts on the following five programs whose common theme is to promote a significant change in human values leading to greater respect and care for Earth's community of life in all its diversity, and to address the environmental causes and consequences of wars and conflict."

Good News Agency 
"Good News Agency carries positive and constructive news from all over the world relating to voluntary work, the work of the United Nations, non governmental organizations, and institutions engaged in improving the quality of life – news that doesn’t “burn out” in the space of a day. It is published in English on one Friday and in Italian the next and it is distributed free of charge through Internet to over 2,400 editorial offices of the daily newspapers and periodical magazines and of the radio and television stations in 46 countries, as well as to over 1,000 NGO.  

GNA is "published by Associazione Culturale dei Triangoli e della Buona Volontà Mondiale, a non-profit educational organization associated with the United Nations Department of Public Information. The Association operates for the development of consciousness through programmes promoting a culture of peace in the ‘global village’ perspective based on unity in diversity and on sharing."

A significant example of the activity developed by the Good News Agency is the interview that its founder had with one of the most remarkable personalities of our time - Mr. Mikhail Gorbachev: Towards a New Civilization
