Action for Peace Disque Denuncia

O F SERVICE то
As part of Viva Rio's strategy to empower citizens with the means to fight for their rights and care for their city, Viva Rio was instrumental in the setting up of Rio de Janeiro's crime watch hotline, called Disque Denuncia". An anonymous toll-free number linked to police squads, the hotline receives calls from citizens who report on crimes and kidnappings, and thus helps the police to carry out their work. Aside from helping to solve hundreds of cases per year, the hotline has also contributed to breaking the law of silence in the city and ending the cycle of fear among witnesses of crimes.

Human Kindness Foundation Prison Ashram Project
PERSUNESTIARASEMA
In 1973, the founders developed a strategy to help prisoners use their prisons as ashrams if they were tired of seeing themselves as convicts just biding their time until they were released. The primary purpose of the project is to inspire and encourage prisoners and prison staff to recognize their value as human beings, and to act accordingly. The project posits that people's inmost nature is divine, and that the nature of our lives is an incomprehensibly wonderful mystery in which each human being can experience solitude and silence. Prisoners have opportunity to dedicate themselves to the inward journey without the distractions and luxuries which occupy many people in the "free world." The project is now in the United Kingdom, and is described in a book, We're All Doing Time, by Bo Lozoff, its founder. The book has been translated into several languages in Europe, and is available for free to prisoners.

Global Awareness Campaign
BEACHGACHANDRAN
The Kashi Foundation will sponsor a campaign using 21st century media and grassroots education to raise awareness about racism, bigotry, and prejudice. This campaign will be in the form of public service announcements, online broadcasting, the internet, proactive documents and global interaction. The first phase of the campaign, already in production, is the Statement of Conscience regarding the Global HIV/AIDS Pandemic. Religious leaders and people of all faith traditions (among the first to sign were His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu) will sign this document initiated by Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati, and Cleve Jones, (founder of the Names Project). The Statement asks for people of all faiths to reach out and care for people living with AIDS that are fully deserving of love, compassion, care, and human dignity. The second phase of the project will be a series of public service announcement videos of youth speaking out to the world about the critical issues that are facing the human society today.
