World peace,environmental healing, sustainable development, the optimization of education, the improvement of health and healthy water supplies, ways to reduce the world's mortality rate of children, remedies to the problems of hunger, malnutrition, AIDS and other diseases, illiteracy, drug abuse, and many other pressing issues that face an increasingly troubled world.
