I was notified yesterday and received confirmation today that NextStage Evolution has been accepted into the Scientists Without Borders program.
Scientists Without Borders was conceived by The New York Academy of Sciences and the United Nations Millennium Project to " mobilize and coordinate science-based activities that improve quality of life in the developing world. The research community is already promoting areas such as global health, agricultural progress, and environmental well-being, but current communication gaps restrict its power. Organizations and individuals do not always know about one another's endeavors, needs, or availability, which limits the ability to forge meaningful connections and harness resources. This situation is especially striking in light of the growing realization that integrated rather than focused approaches are crucial for addressing key challenges such as extreme poverty and the glaring health problems that accompany it."
I'm both honored and proud that NextStage Evolution has been accepted into this organization. My great hope is that our toolset can be used to communicate the needs of disadvantaged people to the widest, most receptive and willing-to-act audiences possible.
The Village is out there and waiting, you know.
