It will soon be dark and my neighborhood has no power...

Posted on Aug 31st, 2007 by Jeff : Peacemaker. Pax et Bonum Jeff
Except for me!

All the power in the neighborhood just went out about an hour ago. Last summer, on a day about as hot as today, a transformer blew up and we had no electricity for 4 days. We were then on very limited power for about a week thereafter.

I'm writing this blog with my solar powered Apple PowerBook G4. The VOIP phones and the routers are all functional. If I had a bit larger power inverter, I'd turn on the A/C.

This system did NOT cost $20,000.00+. It is not a system that attaches to the grid and causes my meter to run backwards. My investment was about the same as a new laptop PC.

This is the kind of system I developed for use in the Developing World. Two billion people world wide have no electricity whatsoever. We can bring power to people who have never been able to brush their daughter's hair after dark or read a book.

I need your help to make this happen...

Our New Logo

Posted on Sep 4th, 2007 by Jeff : Peacemaker. Pax et Bonum Jeff
Now that Humanitas WorldWide is an official Non-Profit Corporation, it's time to debut our logo.

Humanitas WorldWide

The three colors do have specific meanings.
  • Red represents the color of the blood that flows through all living beings, including our brothers and sisters throughout the world that live in poverty and extreme poverty.
  • Green is the color of a healthy Earth and it is the attitude we must all have. The Earth is our home and we must take better care of her.
  • Rust represents the imbalance there is among humanity. 20% of the population (as in us of the First World)  takes 80% of the Earths resources. There are 6 billion people on Earth and 4 billion live in poverty.
