CRIMINON

As for criminality and conflict, the situation runs a lot deeper than our inner-cities. What about conflict with nation against nation? The answer to both is The Way to Happiness. It provides a common sense guide that people of every race, creed, or nationality can follow, and gain a common-ground of respect for others.

And that's why, just last month, we opened the new International Headquarters for The Way to Happiness Foundation.

And while grassroots dissemination has already seen 68-million copies. We are now seeing it used by whole police forces, entire city governments, full prison systems, as part of the humanitarian mandate of National Red Cross Centers, and even a million copies into the Middle East with the Palestinian government, itself, now using it to teach their next generation.

So yes, we are doing something about restoring values and the brotherhood of man.

VOLUNTEER MINISTERS

And finally, we work to bring our help wherever and whenever. Because for all else the terrorist atrocities wrought in terms of immediate destruction, the far greater fall-out is better measured in the apathy, depression, worry, and insecurity of people everywhere.

That is why we put out the call for an "army" to come aboard as Volunteer Ministers, on call 24 hours a day, and trained to handle human despair and anguish. We've owned up to our responsibility and just since 9/11, it's represented by over 24,000 new Volunteer Ministers, across fifty countries.

In that time we've been appointed official members of emergency task forces — in Hungary, during their natural disasters, in Moscow to care for families and victims during Chechnya terrorism, and right here in California, counseling those who lost so much during recent wildfires.

So yes, we are doing something about it, bringing real compassion no matter the circumstance.
