Good News Agency carries positive and constructive news from all over the world relating to voluntary work, the work of the United Nations, non governmental organizations and institutions engaged in improving the quality of life – news that doesn’t “burn out” in the space of a day. It is distributed free of charge through Internet to 10,000 media and editorial journalists in 54 countries and to 3,000 NGOs and 1,600 high schools, colleges and universities.
Sergio Tripi (President of the Campaign for Good News Agency, D 2080, Italy) writes:
The campaign “Let us take Good News Agency to the schools!” has just completed its seventh year of activity in Italy. Positive substantial results have been achieved through the work of many Italian Rotary clubs, that introduced this e-newsletter personally to interested teachers of over 170 high schools and colleges.
Internationally, this campaign is entering its third year of activity. The reaction from several District Governors continue to be promising, here there are some other recent messages I received: DG Guido Chaves Montagno, D4290 (Columbia):"We are greeting with emotion and much hope your Good News Agency (...) We will include your mailings in the governor's web page and papers"; DG John Richardson, D7000 (Puerto Rico): " I wanted to take the time to thank you for sharing this information with me. It is truly a wonderful endeavour"; DG Moses Malunda: "I shall circulate to all our clubs (...) I have requested the Chair in charge of New Generations to take a lead"; DG Howard Tong, D9940 (New Zealand): "Thanks for your informative publication. I have linked it on my DG blog". I will report possible synergies when they materialize.
Here is the latest edition ...
And what can Clubs do?
Sergio writes:
We trust that many clubs in other countries will decide to take this service opportunity to reach the youth with positive and constructive information. As always, the mechanism is very simple: after “recruiting” a school, the Club sends me its name and e-mail address and from that moment onwards the school will receive the Good News Agency regularly and free of charge.
