>The Drum Beat - Issue 257 - Faith-Based Communication for Change
>July 12, 2004 EXTRACTOS
>
> What potential does faith - religious belief, worship, spirituality - hold
> for practitioners who use communication for development? How and why do
> faith-based organisations (FBOs) use communication to effect social change?
> What lessons can be drawn from these perspectives, practices, and
> strategies? This issue of the Drum Beat presents some initiatives and
> resources that address or reflect faith-based social development. These
> items have been divided into just 2 of among many possible categories -
> HIV/AIDS and children/youth - about which FBOs can or do have a voice.
> Please visit The Communication Initiative website for more resources.

>10. Wire the World - Global Oasis Trust is a Christian organisation
>working
> in 13 countries to deliver
> global, community, youth, and church action initiatives. Wire the World is
> based on the belief that people need more than basic education to escape
> poverty. The use of open source software decreases costs. One site, located
> in a school in a Bombay slum, makes the premises available to street kids
> and school drop-outs in the evenings. Impact data indicates that young
> people there have progressed from learning simple Microsoft Word skills to
> programming courses within 3 months. Job placements can also happen
quickly.
