Greater New Haven Community Calendar
We at OneWorld raise our hats to Paul Bass. His type of journalism is so VERY needed in our community. We are presenting educational television programs and community forums to make positive contributions to our community. Paul, through the NHI Online Journalism, brings us remarkable real stories about life in the broader New Haven community.
We applaud him for his commitment and verve.
We greatly appreciate journalists-- such as Melinda Tuhus-- whose excellent pictures and incisive writing communicate much more than the words alone would say. Personally, I am delighted to have access to Paul and Melinda’s work.

We also have other information programs that cover a range of health-related diabetes information.

It is critically important that we all learn to minimize the effects of diabetes on the body’s vital organs. Effectively managing diabetes is essential to longevity, maintaining sight & having healthy kidneys.

Domestic/Intimate Partner Violence: One of the sad fact of life in our community is the prevalence of Domestic & Intimate Partner Violence. OneWorld, Inc. has two outstanding educational and resource programs on this topic. The DVDs are available for $25 each or $45 for both. During difficult economic times domestic or intimate partner violence escalates; it is a devastating and costly scourge on our society. We appeal to those who know about these situations to please step in and do something to help. Reach out to those who are being battered and notify police. Women, children and the elderly are often abused and suffer silently.
