Read the rest of this comment to get a small glimpse of what Better Globe stands for and follow the links to learn how you can help disadvantaged African communities out of poverty, become CO2 neutral, make an income or get up to 11 times returns on your trees over 20 years !
“The best way to help Africans today is to help them stand on their own feet. And the best way to do that is by helping create jobs.” – The first female Finance Minister in Nigeria, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
”In terms of the role of the private sector, investing in economies of Africa is vital to Africa’s expeditious economic growth.” – South African President Thabo Mbeki
“Africa does not need charity, Africa needs investment and partnership.” – UN chief Ban Ki-moon
There are many good organizations working to relieve hunger and poverty in Africa, but Better Globe is the first concept where you cannot afford not to give. You will hear the unusual “charity theme” of making money throughout the Better Globe song. This is simply because economic interest creates a host of crucial benefits not common to aid and charity. We are talking about creating a world-wide movement to prevent poverty, create jobs, build up local industries, create accountability and sustainability, preventing corruption, plant trees in ASAL (Arid- Semi Arid Land not fit for food crops), donate trees and water, and many other key factors for socially responsible economic growth.
Through social and ecological transformation based on “charity” with interest, Better Globe’s Donation Package support poor African famers in becoming self sufficient. Help is provided through education, assistance in farming techniques, water management, microfinance loans, water donation and tree planting. Included is also economic support to Child Africa to build schools. And when you make from 6,5 to 11 times return on investment (or more) over 20 years, help reduce poverty and can make your whole family CO2 neutral; can you really afford not give?

This is the VOA Special English Technology Report, from http://voaspecialenglish.com | http://facebook.com/voalearningenglish
Falling prices are fueling growth in high-speed Internet services, especially in developing countries. Recently the International Telecommunication Union released its “Measuring the Information Society 2011″ report. The ITU, part of the United Nations, compared access, use and skills in one hundred fifty-two countries.The report says South Korea has the world’s most developed economy in information and communication technology, or ICT. Sweden, Iceland, Denmark and Finland were also among the top five in the ICT Development Index. The index compares two thousand eight and two thousand ten scores. Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Vietnam and Russia had some of the biggest improvements between those years. Susan Teltscher is head of the ICT Data and Statistics Division at the International Telecommunication Union in Switzerland. She says most of the growth has come from one source. “Mobile broadband is now leading the growth race among the different ICT indicators — much higher than the other key indicators that we look at, like regular mobile phone subscriptions, fixed telephone or fixed broadband. … And the good news is that it’s also starting to grow in developing countries.” Mobile broadband subscriptions reached eight hundred seventy-two million by the end of last year. Three hundred million of those are in developing countries. Ms. Teltscher says “If we can bring Internet over the mobile phones, then we can really make a difference in terms of improving Internet access also in developing countries.” Falling prices are adding to the growth, she says: “Especially in the broadband area, the prices dropped by over fifty percent between two thousand eight and two thousand ten — which is a very encouraging finding because this was primarily drops in the developing countries.” Even so, the report says people in many low-income countries are still paying too much for high-speed Internet connections. In Africa, broadband service for a home or office cost almost three times an average monthly income last year. That was down from six and a half times as much in two thousand eight. Also, there are big differences in broadband speed and quality from country to country. South Korea has Asia’s fourth largest economy. Susan Teltscher says, “If you look at … what they have been achieving in terms of ICT development, it’s actually higher than what you would expect given their national income.” For VOA Special English, I’m Carolyn Presutti.
