This
is how we move forward.
We work either as one knight, our or as a team. In nearly
equal numbers we are men and women: knights, participating
in the ranks as well as in leadership. We pursue our
knightly challenge from all ages, as many above as below
the age of forty. Most of our projects are small, daily,
routine activities aimed at helping those around us.
This keeps us focused as we walk our daily course. Through
pursuing the basic exercises: 'think good thoughts´,
'speak good words', 'do good deeds', we are able both
to help others and feel satisfaction in how we live.
We also all are invited and encouraged to participate
in proposing, planning, approving and executing our
team projects. Long term objectives some of us are pursuing,
and regularly invite our sister and brother knights
to join us at are:
- To deliver education
where it does not exist, and to persuade those who should
be doing it: to carry on from us.
- To begin replacing lethal
fire arms with non-lethal implements and methods of
controlling those whose acts require they be control..
- Organise the collection,
preservation and distribution of the 50+% of edible
food which now is lost through waste, poor management
and geographical dislocation.
- To acquire and adapt
surplus ships to safely and comfortably receive human
settlement on an emergency basis - with the possibility
of sustaining long term settlement through developing
tethered floating islands. Hoping to have available
such shelter in the Mediterranean; Adriatic, Bengal,
Andaman in time to relieve urgent and growing refugee
& migration emergencies.
Additional we fight Slavery, Traffickers,
Corruption and global warming.

Before
coming together in this chivalric endeavour, we
accomplished our missions through the coordinated
efforts of a collegial force of likeminded individuals.
Whose ranks were supported by a small paid staff,
dispersed in cities and countries where we acted.
And finally there was a small fluid army of local
and International volunteers.

Funding for our projects
comes from a variety of sources: unsolicited
contributions from companies, small donors and philanthropists.
We have at times opend business, or partnered with enterrise
on bealf of one of our projects.
"Fundraising" is seldom heard in our messages,
though we are always glad when someone offers to help
with this.
