In the second episode of the seventh season of Frontline/World titled "A World of Good", reporters from the show explore various communities around the world that are using innovative solutions to address social and environmental challenges.

The first segment takes viewers to a remote village in Tanzania where a group of women have formed a cooperative to work on a project to bring solar power to their community. The women are seen building solar panels and installing them on homes, schools, and clinics in their village. Through their hard work, the women are able to generate income and provide sustainable electricity to their neighbors.

The second segment focuses on a group of surfers in Peru who are using their passion for the ocean to educate local children about marine conservation. The surfers take the kids out on the waves and teach them about the harmful effects of plastic pollution on the ocean and its inhabitants. The segment also highlights the work of a Peruvian marine biologist who is studying the impact of climate change on the ocean's ecosystem.

Next, the show takes viewers to the Philippines where a group of doctors and nurses are working to improve maternal healthcare in rural areas. Through a program called "Buntis", which means pregnant in Tagalog, the healthcare workers are able to provide prenatal care and education to pregnant women who may not have access to healthcare services. The segment also features a Filipino midwife who shares her personal experiences delivering babies in difficult and often dangerous conditions.

The final segment of the episode focuses on a group of entrepreneurs in India who are using technology to address the country's waste management problems. The entrepreneurs have developed an app called "Kabaadi on Wheels" that connects waste collectors with customers who need their services. This app not only helps to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills but also generates income for the waste collectors.

Throughout the episode, Frontline/World showcases the ingenuity, resilience, and determination of individuals and communities who are working tirelessly to create positive change in their world. The show offers a glimpse into the lives of people who are often overlooked by mainstream media and provides a platform to share their stories and accomplishments with a global audience.
