Check out international family planning web site
Stay up to date on international family planning issues through a new web site: http://familyplanet.org.
The web site provides an international forum for discussion of family planning availability in various countries and diverse cultures around the world. It is a project of the Planet Campaign, which is designed to raise awareness of international family planning in the minds of the American public and to make it a priority among issues facing the United States and the world.
The public education campaign is the work of several organizations, including the Atlanta-based CARE, the New York City-based Planned Parent-hood Federation of America and the National Audubon Society, the Westport, CT-based Save the Children, and the Washington, DC-based Popula-tion Action International and Communications Consortium Media Center. It is sponsored by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation of Los Altos, CA, and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation of Menlo Park, CA.
The site allows visitors to send a postcard, mail a page of familyplanet.org, or download a background photo from its wallpaper gallery. Visitors also may sign up for Planet eNews, an e-mail newsletter of current developments in international family planning, or check out the site’s book club, which recommends new books and moderates on-line book discussions.
