This Project is about reaching out on the internet to make the legacy of Doctor Halstead and World Life Research Institute to those anxious to learn more.
It is also meant to attract those individuals who would like to contribute to World Life and support the various projects involved in moving forward. The idea is to keep expanding this current project with more information, short videos and an expanded format.
But so far, this project is being done on a zero budget, an old inadequate computer, and without the benefit of a good video camera to help document the past, present, and future efforts. Approximate budget needed: $5,000.
