This means that, when you visit the Greenstar website as you're doing now, and make a purchase, a portion of the proceeds will be paid to Musashi Corporation. Everybody wins. You get some extraordinary, unusual and thoughtful gifts to use as gifts for any special occasion, for your home or office. Musashi gains support for its important projects and Greenstar 's international projects, based in developing countries, also benefit. So, who is Greenstar? Greenstar is founded on a simple idea: that people, no matter where they live, have the same basic needs: for food, shelter, caring for their children and families, building their future, leading a life of learning, creativity and dignity. Where people in emerging nations don't enjoy the social and economic conditions to support these basic needs, all they need is the tools to grow by themselves, some assistance and startup resources. And then they need everyone else to get out of the way. Greenstar's concrete approach to delivering on this promise is also very simple: a self-contained, solar-powered, Web-connected community center. Including a medical clinic and telemedicine connections, a classroom, a commercial-grade photovoltaic solar power array, and a satellite dish for telecommunications. Then, make it self-financing through ecommerce on the Internet. We create a commercial website to market products from the village worldwide, and promote the site to nearly 200 million people who work, shop and learn on the Web every day. Allow them to connect with the people in the villages by email. The people in the village will decide for themselves how to use the income to improve their lives. In a few months, a village can advance 1000 years, from a position where there is no electricity, no telephone or computer, no clean water, little medical or educational support, and little income, to a position where they are independent, growing, and connected to the world community. A trial installation is underway on the West Bank, in a remote Palestinian village, with great success. To learn more, see http://www.greenstar.org/newsletter.htm What do these people have to offer that you would be interested in -- for holiday gifts, for your home or office? A surprising variety of beautiful and unique items -- from the historic Hebron area, which figures strongly in the scriptural events of Islam, Judaism and Christianity. Gorgeous brassware; subtle glassware and ceramics; finely-formed pottery. And their culture -- live music recorded recently in the village, with extraordinary Bedouin sounds from a tradition more than 5000 years old. You can get a free sample of this amazing music by clicking here. We also developed a gallery of artwork produced by the children and adults of the community, which shows a startling clarity of vision, and fine artistic balance. These digital products can be downloaded direct to your computer, where within minutes you'll hear amazing music and see stunning artwork. Find out more by clicking here. The director of Musashi Corporation in Brisbane Australia, Jairo Cifuentes, introduces Musashi and Greenstar to each other in this way: I am a specialist in international business, as I was the Business Development Manager for Hyundai Corporation in South America for a number of years. We built a very successful business for the Hyundai Group of Korea, which is comprised of over 30 very large companies. We use our virtual home page as a tool to promote world trade so that companies all over the world can promote their products, services and projects. So far we have received inquiries from over 80 countries. Our goal is to promote world trade, and at the economic progress of developing countries. We are promoting worthwhile causes like the Hunger Site. We represent Dakota Water Systems of California, and Chadwick International, which provides financing of housing construction of housing projects, ideal for many developing countries. We have established the Latin American Housing Company Ltd, a non-profit organization that supplies low-income housing to Hispanic migrants. We have been able to obtain $2,500,000 in grants from the Queensland Department of Housing and have 20 properties in the Brisbane metropolitan area. Musashi also offers interpreting/translating services in Spanish and Japanese. There is a great need for Greenstar offers in the so-called "third world". Greenstar's internet centers give the opportunity for villages to communicate directly with overseas buyers without any brokers or middlemen. Providing electricity is also very important.
