    WHY - One of the major objective of FAO is to help, eliminate hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition.
    HOW - FAO creates and shares critical information about food, agriculture and natural resources in the form of global public goods. But this is not a one-way flow. They play a connector role, through identifying and working with different partners with established expertise, and facilitating a dialogue between those who have the knowledge and those who need it.
    WHAT - To meet the demands posed by major global trends in agricultural development and challenges faced by member nations, FAO has identified key priorities on which it is best placed to intervene.

  8. Save the children is a non-for-profit organization and it is placed as 19th in the top 100 chart of the non business entities on the web
    (http://topnonprofits.com/lists/best-nonprofits-on-the-web/). Its mission is linked to the promotion of children's rights all over the world.

    WHAT :They put children first - giving them what they need to grow up happy and healthy.

    HOW :They give children in the United States and around the world what every child deserves -- a healthy start, the opportunity to learn and care when disaster strikes. They save children's lives.
    As the founder, Englantyne Jebb, declared in an initial draft of ther UN Declaration of the Rights of the Child:
    1-The child must be given the means requisite for its normal development, both materially and spiritually.
    2-The child that is hungry must be fed, the child that is sick must be nursed, the child that is backward must be helped, the delinquent child must be reclaimed, and the orphan and the waif must be sheltered and succoured.
    3-The child must be the first to receive relief in times of distress.
    4-The child must be put in a position to earn a livelihood, and must be protected against every form of exploitation.
    5-The child must be brought up in the consciousness that its talents must be devoted to the service of its fellow men.[4]


    WHY: "I believe we should claim certain rights for the children and labour for their universal recognition, so that everybody--not merely the small number of people who are in a position to contribute to relief funds, but everybody who in any way comes into contact with children, that is to say the vast majority of mankind--may be in a position to help forward the movement."as Jebb, wrote in 1923.

  15. I chose the Sea Shepherd as a non-for-profit organization because I often inform about its actions. Here we have its mission:
    Sea Sheperd's Mission Statement:
    "Established in 1977, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) is an international non-profit, marine wildlife conservation organization. Our mission is to end the destruction of habitat and slaughter of wildlife in the world's oceans in order to conserve and protect ecosystems and species.
    Sea Shepherd uses innovative direct-action tactics to investigate, document, and take action when necessary to expose and confront illegal activities on the high seas. By safeguarding the biodiversity of our delicately balanced ocean ecosystems, Sea Shepherd works to ensure their survival for future generations."
    We can distinguish the What, the How, and the Why:
    WHAT: Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) is an international non-profit, marine wildlife conservation organization.
    HOW: Sea Shepherd uses innovative direct-action tactics to investigate, document, and take action when necessary to expose and confront illegal activities on the high seas. By safeguarding the biodiversity of our delicately balanced ocean ecosystems...
    WHY: ...Sea Shepherd works to ensure their survival for future generations.
    Our mission is to end the destruction of habitat and slaughter of wildlife in the world's oceans in order to conserve and protect ecosystems and species.


    Just because I like to stress the need that today the world is asking (sustainable entities), I would like to point out that Greenpeace has been the subject of several scandals.
     I firmly believe Paul Watson (founder of Greenpeace) already knew it when, in 1977, left Greenpeace to found, in fact, the Sea Shepherd.
    If this was a not-for-profit organization,it wouldn't count millions of dollars unused and suspected outputs, is totally immoral receiving wages to 6 digits, sitting at beautiful desks to fight the slaughter of whales, seals or dolphins.
    The whole movement is held on the efforts, the tears, the blood of those who fight for ecological justice with minimal resources, while a small group of elite benefits from the wealth of activities from public relations and fundraising.

  16. "In 1990 the World Health Organization, about twenty years after the beginning of the movement of Palliative Care, developed a definition that indicated as integral and active treatment or appropriate treatment for all chronic diseases and evolutionary, not only, therefore, oncological at an advanced stage, but also for all neurological diseases, respiratory, cardiology.
    Despite this, in Italy, when you say you still think palliative to something useless.
    Palliative care is not synonymous with useless palliative derives from the Latin "pallium" which means cloak, which simply serves to protect the patient and his family during his illness.
    This is the reality, that is. This is to Antea is not enough: we want more. We want to help to disseminate palliative care and we want to think of making the application better. This is because our actions, it would be simplistic to define work, is based on short and basic principles:
    • Access to Palliative Care is an inviolable human right that must be guaranteed wherever you are sick person, and regardless of their social and economic status;
    • The suffering and abandonment must not delete the dignity of the person;
    • Patients in the advanced stages of the disease are people with something unique to share.
    Twenty-five years ago we decided to make a commitment, we chose not to turn their faces in front of what was a problem and, although in a different way, it still is. We chose to donate all of our time to those who do not have time anymore. We chose to do the best to offer quality to those who felt abandoned. And last but not least, we have chosen to do it with a smile because if Palliative Care should be understood as a holistic approach and not mere drug therapy, this is that something extra that Antea decided to give.
    Antea is, has been, and hopefully will be a story yet to be written ..."
    WHAT: "We want to help to disseminate palliative care and we want to think of making the application better."
    HOW:" • Access to Palliative Care is an inviolable human right that must be guaranteed wherever you are sick person, and regardless of their social and economic status;

    • The suffering and abandonment must not delete the dignity of the person;

    • Patients in the advanced stages of the disease are people with something unique to share. "

    WHY: Because they think in the human rights.
