tion and people in your community? And how could you realize your dreams for your community through multiple online tools which would be accessible to anyone on any desktop or mobile device?

Do you have a plan in writing and a team in place to move from hopes and dreams to mea-sureable impact within the global Compassion Movement?

What special interests do you want to connect with in any of the many sectors? And what is your projected outcome?
