    The last decade has been a significant one in modern human history in many ways. A large number of socio-economic and political problems facing humanity have surfaced dramatically: hunger, famine, illiteracy, war, apartheid, ecological degradation, exploitation of women, etc. The response of the World Community to these problems can be categorized in two broad streams. The first, more widespread and resource-packed response has been from the governments of the South and North, and inter-governmental institutions. This response has been largely inadequate in solving any of the above problems, despite backed by massive resources and large delivery mechanisms comprising of administrative frameworks and organizations,. The second response, more humble and sparse, less resourceful and visible, sporadic, interttent, has come from what has broadly come to be called the Non-govern-mental sector and teachers; individuals, groups, small organizations. These are students church and temple inspired philanthropists: grass-roots educators in villages and barrios; voluntary organizations, research and training institutions, individual activists, trade unionists, professionals (lawyers, engineers, doctors, nurses, etc.) a whole range of ordinary people in our countries.
