EARTH DAY: HOW TO GO GREEN AT HOME AND WORK ------------------------------------------- (23 apr 2006) Devastating storms? Harsh droughts? More diseases? Polluted air and waterways? Contaminated food? Some of the key causes are global warming and a loss of biodiversity caused by humans' excessive use and abuse of the Earth and its resources. Complex global problems all, so what's an individual to do? http://us.oneworld.net/link/gotoarticle/addhit/131466/7263/77003 From: OneWorld US http://us.oneworld.net

IMF, WORLD BANK DO 'MORE HARM THAN GOOD' IN AFRICA -------------------------------------------------- (24 apr 2006) World Bank and IMF interference in Africa has done more harm than good, according to a leading US Africa lobby group. http://uk.oneworld.net/link/gotoarticle/addhit/131499/7468/77003 From: Africa Action http://www.africaaction.org
IF YOU CAN READ THIS, THANK A TEACHER ------------------------------------- (24 apr 2006) At least 15 million more teachers are needed if every child is to have the chance of a good quality education. Right now, over 100 million children know AIDS, poverty, hard labour, hunger… but will never know a teacher. Global Action Week starts today. http://uk.oneworld.net/link/gotoarticle/addhit/131497/7468/77003 From: Global Campaign for Education http://www.campaignforeducation.org/
UN SLAMS GOVERNMENTS FOR FAILING TO CURB TRAFFICKING ---------------------------------------------------- (24 apr 2006) Efforts to counter human trafficking for sexual exploitation or forced labour have been "uncoordinated and inefficient", the UN Office on Drugs and Crime says in a report that states: "Governments need to try harder." http://uk.oneworld.net/link/gotoarticle/addhit/131495/7468/77003
APPEAL FOR INTERVENTION IN NEPAL -------------------------------- (24 apr 2006) Outside intervention is needed in Nepal to stop King Gyanendra from allowing the army and police to attack demonstrators, a leading Asian rights group said in a statement today. * On the spot report * Nepal’s national vitamin A campaign proceeds despite unrest * OneWorld UK Guide to Nepal

IS INDIA'S RURAL POVERTY PLAN WORKING? --------------------------------------- (24 apr 2006) Earlier this year, the Indian government launched a bold, multi-million dollar scheme to tackle rural poverty. It guarantees 100 days work a year for every rural household. It's manual work at the minimum wage. http://southasia.oneworld.net/link/gotoarticle/addhit/131496/1893/77003
ARUNACHAL PRADESH BRINGS OUT ITS FIRST HDR ------------------------------------------ (24 apr 2006) The north east Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh has brought out its first human development report (HDR) which finds that the state has a unique opportunity to map out a people-centred development path that is sustainable and ecologically sound. Lack of community-based development in Arunachal Pradesh has resulted in slow progress on human development indicators. http://southasia.oneworld.net/link/gotoarticle/addhit/131494/1893/77003
KING GYANENDRA MUST BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE: RIGHTS BODY ------------------------------------------------------ (24 apr 2006) The Hong Kong-based human rights organisation Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has called for Nepalese king Gyanendra to step down so that people can bring him to justice. The organisation says that the king's defiance to restore democracy has only made the people more determined to oust him. http://southasia.oneworld.net/link/gotoarticle/addhit/131487/1893/77003
