I believe passionately that when people come together across cultures to work side-by-side, we build bridges of understanding that are powerful and essential to creating a safe and healthy future for all people. I believe we each must stretch ourselves individually, expand our own personal boundaries and perspectives, and learn about and engage with communities worldwide. I am convinced that by being truly active in this global movement, we can achieve sustainable change, and true quality of life can become a reality for more and more of our fellows — regardless of the country or community they may call home.
