Peace Corps, Paideia, and Quaker Voluntary Service informing WUaS ... and especially Wikipedia, in the form of MIT-centric, wiki schools for One Laptop per Child (OLPC) and the emerging, developing  worlds, with free, Creative Commons' licensed degrees planned for many countries and languages ...


Peace Corps
"To promote world peace and friendship through a Peace Corps, which shall make available to interested countries and areas men and women of the United States qualified for service abroad and willing to serve, under conditions of hardship if necessary, to help the peoples of such countries and areas in meeting their needs for trained manpower."
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_Corps)


Paideia (at Reed College)
"This festival of learning takes the form of classes and seminars put on by anyone who wishes to teach, including students, professors, staff members, and outside educators invited on-campus by members of the Reed Community. The classes are intended to be informal, yet intellectual activities free of the usual academic pressure endemic to Reed."

Quaker Voluntary Service
"International Voluntary Services is a private, non-profit organization designed to promote "people-to-people" cooperation in improving health, productivity and living standards and fostering better understanding among peoples. It is a mechanism for uniting the energies of individuals and private organizations, and of providing program direction and administrative services for foreign service projects. Some IVS projects are sponsored and supported entirely through private contributions and others may be operated in cooperation with governmetnal or international agencies."
