I believe MORE PEACE CORPS '... may mean revising the Peace Corps model in ways to take better advantage of the significant technological and demographic changes that have occurred' since Peace Corps was launched 48 years ago.
I have a vision for 2015 that includes a world with greatly reduced poverty levels as people are able to take advantage of entrepreneurship!!!

It advocates that 'Listening is both revolutionary and transformative as women feel isolated and alone and need to have their voices heard.' LISTENERS must read and comment upon the materials submitted, provide supportive feedback, and reply directly to the author. Look for the essence, voice and soul of the message.
MY VOICE IS UNSTOPPABLE is a great way to think about it. In this project, Listeners have a big role in the process. The target audience is emerging female leaders from all around the world. 30 applicants are to be selected, and participate in a 5 month training program.
The main goal is to amplify the ability to reach for our dreams. Imagine not being able to dream. In fact the number of people who have that ability is comparatively small in terms of the overall global population.
Check out the draft that has been agreed upon as an outcome document from the UN global summit this week. The “right to development” and the role of human rights as “an integral part of effective work” toward realizing the MDGs have been highlighted in the finalized draft.
GET INVOLVED in advocacy and education efforts, and if you are able Fund-raising to help achieve successful MDG outcomes by 2015
- MDG 3: Promoting Gender Equality and Empowerment of Women
Promoting women’s empowerment means coming together to end discrimination against women and girls in education.
- MDG 4: Reduce Child Mortality
Promoting local level buy-in and involvement in “developing, implementing and evaluating appropriate national strategies, policies and programmes for child survival, preventive pre-natal, para-natal and post-natal measures, vaccinations and immunization,” is critical
- MDG 5: Improve Maternal HealthOne woman dies each minute from complications in pregnacy or child birth. The “right of everyone” to physical, mental, and sexual and reproductive health is critical. This has to be done at the grassroots level with community-led approaches strengthening health systems.

William commented on the article |Americans have to wake up and begin working together to solve problems facing us as a nation.
I was involved in a heated discussion recently about why children who are born in the US when neither parent is a citizen automatically become US citizens. That IS the LAW. If we don't like it then we should get our congressional representatives to change the law.
The reality is that US politics are so divisive that one day a Representative (or Senator) can be in favor of immigration reform, but immediately the other party representatives say NO. Years pass, and the same representative or senator will vote 180 degrees opposite simply because their party is now in the minority.
Get real! Face the reality. The US has to address the issue of immigration reform. The time is now! Compromise is possible and must take place in order to solve this problem. We have other pressing issues that must be addressed.

William commented on the article |The next step to bring the use of new technologies to the grassroots will be a collaboration between State Department and Peace Corps to train and equip PCVs to spread the use of technology far and wide across the countryside. This could really unleash innovation and entrepreneurship into school and villages across the globe.

William commented on the article |Having worked and traveled all around in the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan for more than 2 year, and having lost colleagues who were victims of terrorist attacks, I can say without hesitation that the humanitarian work being done in Pakistan is needed to help bring about meaningful change.
Southwest Asia is a giant region that includes people without a voice at the grassroots that are suffering and in need of assistance in Pakistan and Afghanistan, as well as Kashmir, China and the neighboring Central Asian states of Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Kazakstan.
The promotion of democracy and human rights strengthening both the educational systems and local civil society organizations is important.

William commented on the article |The world needs a Bigger, Better, Bolder Peace Corps. All viewers of Change.Org should be asking their congressional delegates (in both the House and Senate) to support the goal of fielding 16,000 Peace Corps Volunteers in the field by next year.
