up with your values and what you would like to do. Get involved with
one or more of them and invest your energy, time and intellect in a
noble effort to change the world.
(The organizations below are listed as a public service. BigPictureSmallWorld
does not necessarily support or agree with all the views expressed on
all the sites, nor does it expect you to. What it does hope is that
you will think seriously about getting involved in one or more of the
groups, and act accordingly. Many wonderful groups have undoubtedly
been left out of the list below. My apologies for any errors of omission.
Any group that would like to be listed should contact BigPictureSmallWorld.)
