IN 1973, Bob Graham, a successful California businessman and CPA, visited
Guatemala as part of the California Agricultural Leadership program. Struck by
the plight of the poor farming families he was meeting, he decided on the spot
that someday he would try to help suffering people such as these.
A decade later in 1984, Bob founded the Katalysis partnership, dedicated to providing a hand up (rather than a hand out)
to such people in war-torn Central America. This was also the launching
of Bob’s “50–50 at 50” plan: at age 50 he would begin to devote 50% of
his time and 50% of his resources to service to others. Subsequently,
thousands of people--mostly women--have lead their families out of
poverty with the helping hand of Katalysis and its supporters.
Twenty years later, Bob continues to be deeply involved with
this work, volunteering his time to NamasteDirect, a successor nonprofit
to the Katalysis Partnership. While the original Katalysis organization
has mushroomed into the Katalysis Microfinance Network of Central
America (a regional nonprofit of 13 intermediary credit providers
serving more than 180,000 borrowers with over $60 million in loan
capital in four countries), Bob and his associates are continuing to
link donors to the poorest borrowers through NamasteDirect, where the
motto is "Ending Poverty, One Loan at a Time!"

I have a new found respect for Sarah McLachlan who opted to take the
$150,000 it would normally cost to produce a video and put the money
instead where it will change lives. Check out her World On Fire video

Wisdom/Connection
DWisdomology
I can not say enough about this website! What a blessing to have access
to such a great community of wise people and a way to connect. You must
visit this site ... and stay awhile!
DZaadz
Much like Wisdomology, Zaadz is about connecting people and changing the
world. Both are well worth signing up for and meeting other like minded
folks out there.
DPeacexPeace
This site promotes peace through connecting circles of women from all
over the world. I personally have my "tribe" of women connected through
this site to another group of women in Africa. In the end you realize no
matter how much distance separates strangers, we are all much alike and
all seek similar things in life, which is depth, meaning, love and
connection.
Love and Fear
This is just a great flash with wonderful music. A little something to
add to your day.
Non Violence
Revolution
There should be more sites like this who are aimed at creating a world
of non-violence! Please give this site some time ...

approach to capturing the moment!
DWest
Photography
I'm probably being biased since I know and lived with this photographer
for nearly 5 years but Joanne's work is amazing. I like to go back from
time to time and reminisce since many of the photos I was there with
her, and in many cases was in the photo.

Beautiful photos of indigenous people. The entire site invokes a sense
of peace ...
