     I would like to inform all those interested  that  InterAction has a
     home page located  on the World Wide Web at
     (http://www.vita.org/iaction/iaction.html). You may have seen this
     page before but it has recently been revamped to include the most
     recent information on the situation in Bosnia.  The updated page has
     also been redesigned to include lots of links to several of
     InterAction's member
     organizations.

InterAction is a coalition of over 150 US-based non-profits working to promote human dignity and development in 165 countries around the world. InterAction is the nation's leading advocate for humanitarian aid to the world's poorer countries.

Also located on this page is information concerning The Alliance for a Global Community -- a project of InterAction whose purpose is helping Americans understand that:

a)U.S. support for the developing world is important, cost-effective and successful;

b)The U.S. and developing nations share a common future; and

c)Opportunities have never been greater for reducing world hunger and poverty and building a just and sustainable future.

There is a wealth of information at this site, including information on disaster relief, advocacy issues, and human rights. Also available is information on volunteer opportunities, humantarian issues, upcoming events, and access to several newsletters.

This information may also be accessed via gopher by pointing to vita.org and selecting International Development/InterAction and the Alliance.
