Together we will reach the day when no children die from preventable causes: zero children killed by malaria and measles, poisoned by unclean water, lost for a lack of safe shelter or by falling prey to malnutrition.
May 12th, 2009
Most of the “preventable” diseases are water borne, which makes me especially passionate about improved sanitation and clean water for everyone. The work that UNICEF does is wonderful, and I can remember carrying the UNICEF donations box with me at Halloween 50 years ago. But as important as UNICEF work is, the only real solution is to create sufficient economic development in underdeveloped areas that people can make a sustainable living in “modern” contemporary terms equivalent to Europeans and Americans.
This is one of the reasons that the “green” revolution in biofuels has become so important. Every country can now grow their own fuels, and fuels mean independent, secure, environmentally friendly sources of local energy, for heat, transportation, electricity. I am working with other entrepreneurs to create such “islands of green energy”, thousands of them, across Africa and other underdeveloped portions of the world.
Unlike colonialist exploitation we hope to have local communities become equity partners while we also provide them with the tools for better education and safe water. Offering local people employment is not enough, they MUST take a stake in the enterprise and the community development for future generations.
Please wish me good luck.
Sincerely,
Stafford “Doc” Williamson
It is of the greatest interest to mind people in need that the least I can do is to encourage you Madam Alyssa Milano
But I would like to ask you an help for my family.
Please help us
A savoir ! merci
C’est pas faux!
I too, believe in ZERO! This is great work being done here & I pray all goals are met! Peace & Love to all who get involved!!
Oh, one more comment, I just love that Alyssa & her friends are helping in this cause, makes me smile real big! These folks have a lot of compassion!!
creating significant economic development in underdeveloped countries starts with infrastructure…a declaration of freedom, a history of fighting for that declaration and an ever improving standard of living due to free undisturbed markets, evolving/improving technologies and leadership that carries on the vision of the founding fathers. Sound like us? Yep. Sound like everyone else: NOPE. While relief efforts are always worthy, forcing democracy on nations without the aformentioned is a futile act that has gotten this nation into trouble for centuries. Haiti has a popularly elected President so they have that going for them…know little else except that all humanitarian efforts regardless of scale require resources. PCB
Stafford is fabulous. I’ve shared this on my facebook, and have kept reminding people that there are people dying from drinking diseased water out there they’re so impoverished, so give spare money to charity. These problems need to be constantly put in people’s faces until they’re fixed, because so many people forget that 1 person donating £1 actually helps, ‘cos 1 million people all donating £1 each obviously helps… Yeah.
I believe in zero. <3
I believe in zero like the rest of you. The world will be a better place when we all do our part to help. Much appreciation, love, applause, respect, and admiration for Alyssa Milano and the rest of the celebrities, who believe in the same ‘I believe in zero’, and help to support this awesomely great worth while cause. thank you all.
