"Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul."

I believe that in this era of globalization, cultures and relationships take on an important role. I would love to see a multidirectional Global Peace Corps - a revisiting of the unidirectional Peace Corps - where young people move around the globe armed with their technology and United Nations Instruments like the Millennium Development Goals and the Declaration of Human rights - leaving peace footprints...
Hello to you World is one way of Bringing that about...
32 years at the United Nations living and working in developing countries around the world have brought home to me the need for understanding and appreciation cultures, especially in this era of globalization. The UN stint keeps me focused on issues of development and humanitarian affairs vis - I produce a podcasting channel called United Nations Yak. My Blog is about whatever life throws, we blog about it in Muriella's Corner Blogs
I also edit an online newsletter on health and nutrition - Muriella's Corner - and am developing a documentary on ordinary women in the streets who are not celebrities and dealing with breast cancer.
My current activities are focused in developing a series of books on the Inside Out.
