Hola All~~ Yes, this is great good news and I know the DDN will grow more and more as time goes by. I have been on the DDN Discussion List for a few years now. We should know that behind and beneath the digital divide is the continued economic gap between the rich and the poor, the 'haves' and the 'have-nots. I try to remind people in my Online Groups that we must combine our continued work with our own real life communities offline. We must not become just online activists sitting down and must still be personally involved in helping others in our own personal lives through progressive groups and individuals. ~~Brother Peter / Sacramento

This is an army if we can find ways to mobilize even half of this list to work collectively and consistently to connect those who can help with those who need help throughout the world. Daniel F.
