These are the doers, the people who work everyday to overcome the challenges of realizing the 8 Millennium Development Goals.  Their struggle  to help others will undoubtedly continue regardless of whether or not world governments keep their promise.  In fact, they will have more to do if the governments do keep their promise, finally having the resources to bring about a new millennium of human potential to the world.  Some here work in the remote villages of developing countries and some work in the capitals of world powers, they all work to make the world a better place for all of its citizens.

• Global Vision

• This website is dedicated to increasing awareness of two of the defining trends of our time — the spread of more open markets and the global fight against poverty.   The immense forces of globalization are changing the lives of hundreds of millions of people. But what do they really mean for the day-to-day life of a farmer in Honduras, a factory worker in Indonesia, or a small-business owner in Nigeria? And how do we, as humanitarian-aid workers and as people of goodwill across the world, marshal the forces of globalization to help lift millions out of poverty?
