This document discusses an organization called Peace Solutions and their vision of creating a more peaceful world through service, integrity, understanding, and goodwill. As an example, they built a water line for a school in Myanmar so children did not have to carry water long distances. The document focuses on showing that the world is actually safer and more peaceful now than in the past, despite negative media coverage. It provides statistics showing declining violence and mortality over time. It also describes a project called the Great Green Wall, which plants trees across Africa to address climate change while also building cooperation between communities and nations.

My role in WE Rotary envisions being a
messenger on what has worked
Focus on solutions bringing more Peace

6. Focus on Peace
• Most Media Purposefully Opposite of
What is True
• Sensationalizes the Bad
• Ignores What is Positively Working
• If we Desire a More Peaceful World—
Then I Choose to Focus on What
Already Works to Show.....

Been More at Peace
Than Now
Let me share some key facts and data with you
Promise not to be dull and to keep it short...

8. • Safer Today Than Ever Before
• Locally
• Globally
• Statistically

9. Even NGOs Despite
Good Intentions Skew
Truth.
A few Quick Facts:
From 250 down to 10 per million; 1950s, there
were almost 250 deaths caused by war per
million people. Now, there are less than 10 per
million.
“There is not a single country in the world where
infant or child mortality today is not lower than
it was in 1950,” — Angus Deaton, Princeton
economist on global health issues. (WHO study
confirmed too.)
Bill Gates Foundation report on less poverty
ever;
FBI Crime Statistics show we are safer today than
in the 1950’s, 60’s, 70’s.
