Introduction by Jocelyn Woods

There are many organizations around the world that are participating and helping for the cause of the people and issues that happen around the world. There are many dedicated people attempting to help, and to benefit the people and aid in peace, health, human rights, and many other issues.

Although these organizations may not always benefit the people during certain times, there are also many times when they have been there to aid in helping the people. There have been times of interference deemed a hinder, but there have also been times of success.

In both cases, there have been many times through history when organizations have become involved with relations between nations. It is helpful to understand these different organizations and their purposes, to better see how they have fit in with different issues.

You may select an organization from the menu on the left, or browse through them below, where they are categorized by some of the issues that affect people around the world.
