    I dream of a global organization to humanitarian emergencies

    I dream of a global organization to humanitarian emergencies with global recognition and protection, and which have the right to enter any land without passport at any time
    Its mission only to provide humanitarian assistance to emergency situations when it seams there is no solution. I mean only when the responsibles can do nothing, Like the situations of wars, catastrophes or even at usual life when someone suffer form some urgency and serious illness and he don’t have money to pay the hospital nor he have any thing nor any law in his country which can serve him.

    There are already some organizations working towards those global goals. United Nations and its various organs, Doctors without Borders & Red Cross are some organizations I can mention from the top of my mind.

    However, I doubt if these organizations or any new global organization will be able to have the real GLOBAL reach you seem to be implying.

    I think Entrepreneurship is the better route as Entrepreneurship contributes to such goals by creating wealth at the grass-roots level and ensure that such emergencies become rare and not a daily part of life.

    Check out the following links for more details on what I mean:

    Here is an excerpt from the essay on Global Entrepreneurship:
    Economic growth is desirable for all countries because it improves the material standard of living and spawns moral benefits, i.e. it “fosters greater opportunity, tolerance of diversity, social mobility, commitment to fairness, and dedication to democracy.” Of the various causes of economic growth, I believe one value is paramount: entrepreneurship.[/]
