There is a lot of BAD NEWS in this world. We can read about it in the papers and watch it on TV every day. What we don't get to see so often is the GOOD NEWS: That there is people and projects all over the planet working hard to make the world a better place.
C.A.N - the Conscious Action Network - does not only bring you their inspiring stories - but enables YOU to become part of the CHANGEMAKING process:
TOGETHER we can CREATE the GOOD NEWS.

On February 12th, 2011 we opened a HAPPINESS CENTER for the war-traumatized children of Pooneryn, Northern Sri Lanka, that our Conscious Action Community financed - with their donations through betterplace. YOUR donations enabled A.C.T - the Action & Care Trust - to open their 8th Rehabilitation Center, bringing peace into the young hearts of these children and thereby into the future of their country. Because peace always start in the hearts. Here it started in YOUR HEARTS!
A big THANK YOU to all donors and supporters.

This winter we want to bring more (2-5) HAPPINESS CENTERS to the Children of Northern Sri Lanka. This time in Mullaitivu - where exactly 3 years ago some of the worst fighting of the 30-year war took place and where civilians suffered the most. Due to the need to clear the area of landmines, the people of this district have only been settled back in 2011. Until then they were on the run or in camps.
Now these kids can get a chance to learn a musical instrument, to play sports, to read books, to play and be children and heal their hearts and minds... And YOU can make this PLAN a reality!

YOU + C.A.N + A.C.T =====> HAPPINESS CENTERS IN MULLAITIVU

Because the Sri Lankan Army covers the renovation of the buildings, 100% of your donation go into the equipment (sports goods, toys, books, musical instruments...) for the centers.
The budget of €4000 is for TWO CENTERS that will benefit over 1000 children & their families.
The opening of the Centers is planed for the 6th of march 2012. Again we will make a film about it to show YOU exactly what happened with YOUR donation.

BE THE GOOD NEWS
WITH C.A.N YOU CAN

THANK YOU !!!
