about the great news network
Keeping Hope Alive
"So many people I talk to feel powerless in their ability to make the world better by responding to the problems that need to be addressed with positive action. I believe that part of the reason is because they look around and don't see enough people in their lives or those shown in mainstream media stepping up to the plate and doing good.What's is so especially important in this world is to realize that everyone one of us needs to do their part in order for positive change to happen. Even if that part is to influence something bigger then oneself to take action - like, for example, a government body that is capable of creating massive change through legislation.
The Great News Network exists to provide that vital piece to the individual - stories of advancements in science, medicine, human rights, education, global peace and the environment that's happening here and now. It's time to get inspired."
