For Immediate Release: If you think that the President of the United States has an ambitious agenda over his first hundred days, you’ll think again when you compare to the mission and objectives of this one small volunteer-based nonprofit organization out of New York.
Like Star Trek, Planned Acts of Kindness is embarking on a 100-day mission “to boldly go where no one has gone before…” to simultaneously tackle multiple global Quality of Life issues, while using a grassroots up and an institutional top-down cooperative approach.
Lyle Benjamin, founder of the non-profit organization Planned Acts of Kindness believes the approach that NPOs, NGOs, businesses and governments use is counterproductive to achieving their stated goals. “The fractional approach is designed to protect turf, consolidate and retain power and accumulate money. This might sound good if you’re in business and your top priority is money but when you’re trying to improve Quality of Life outcomes for all people on the planet it’s a terrible system to follow.”
Benjamin goes on to state that “this fractional approach that we used to solve health, income and social issues hasn’t worked in the past, it’s not working today, and it won’t work in the future. We must collaborate to succeed. We must collaborate to survive.”
Using the pandemic as an example, the fractional approach that cities, states and nations have taken is the primary reason why we have a death toll of almost half a million in the United States and approaching 2.5 million people around the world.
The tipping point problems we face — climate change, pollution, overpopulation, war, terrorism, and pandemics —are global issues. They are not going to be solved by governments and companies alone. They are going to be solved by ordinary people around the world working together on common causes with a common focus.
But in order to achieve that you have to have multiple engagement systems that are designed to educate and inspire people to take action around the globe. It is definitely not one size fits all.
To address this, Benjamin has created six primary areas of outreach and engagement: clubs, books, courses, activity programs, events and games that, in turn, utilize dozens of different systems to connect with *five groups of grassroots individuals and the five types of institutions.
Planned Acts of Kindness programs have already attracted the support of some impressive organizations including the Peace Corps, Google, Simon Property Group, Columbia University, University of Pennsylvania, M.I.T. and the United Nations.
Benjamin’s organization’s goals are to register 100 institutional partners around the world in 100 days (February 9th through May 19th) to support and collaborate with Planned Acts of Kindness Quality of Life programs.
The goal is to have non-political One Planet One People Ambassadors in every country operating under a Global Karma Constitution that promotes Quality of Life for All.
There will be four Peace Laureates in every country (800 total) engaging people and institutions in Planned Acts of Kindness education and action initiatives.
The goal is to establish One Planet One People clubs in schools and communities in 200 countries implementing grassroots social responsibility programs in collaboration with the five types of institutions: schools, religious organizations, non-profits/non-governmental organizations, governments, and businesses.
Jack Canfield, best-selling author of Chicken Soup for the Soul and The Success Principles had this to say about Planned Acts of Kindness, “What you’re doing is great. I’m glad you’re taking on this project. We definitely need it. We’ve become so, let’s just call it, divided in our country and when we are just talking being human beings, about solving problems we all share, it doesn’t matter what side of the political spectrum you’re on.”
*PAK’s 5 x 5 Engagement System. 5 Groups of Individuals: Students, employees, owners, retirees and the unemployed. 5 Types of Institutions: Schools, Religious Organizations, NPOs/NGOs, Government Agencies and Businesses.
