Mission Statement & Overview |
| Demographics show a reality full of Facts & Truth... With so much beauty in the world there is equally much ugliness, ignorance & corruption. Suppose that's the Mission to be a part of the solutions & not the problems... What's being done, what's been done, & what hasn't & isn't working to the degree our efforts should be requiring. It's organizations with vision, concern & passion & the people who make them up that give me hope & inspiration.. It's the organizations like these & the people who make them up that I reach out too for support in every way... Understanding now that it takes a community to raise a child so to speak... It takes a community to be a good community or a bad one for that matter. In turn then it must also take the world to be a good world... Thats the Mission I've taken on.. It's something that requires understanding & development. Individuals must recognize themselves in the world around them & choose the right paths the ethical paths regardless their religious, political, or lifestyle choices granted them by Freedom... Citizenship & the right to freedoms there in must be met with a responsibility to citizenship at any level along the demographic scale.. Better behavior comes with better awareness of understanding a bigger whole. The World can be a better place than it is despite the ugliness there in... It shows us that one can never really understand the definition of something beautiful without understanding the definition of something ugly even when it includes a look at one's self & that through awareness one can change.. Our Hope in what we are attempting to accomplish as well the farm and it's direction & longevity is simple and complex all at the same time.. The Old farm and it's role/ my role is to serve in many capacities... Heritage Preservation,, Cultural Servitude & Stewardship,, Awareness Concerns, Business Development, Charitable Contribution, Green Technology,, Tourism,, Longevity, People Development, Education, Product Development, Jobs, Workshops,, creative inspiration,, Team Work Development, Impact, Respect, Growth, all with integrity, concern & passion. Contributing to the legacy of living & giving as a part of the solutions in the world. Meeting a new age in history with new innovations & concepts.. For if we can do it resides proof that anyone can.. Reaching that point where I/we want only to give back to the communities around us that cause has touched our lives regardless how difficult it is to implement for some tainted by their own experience with life. I/ we have identified specific goals and wish to pass along these values to future generations, despite those that only feel it declining. Strategic, meaningful giving does not necessarily require enormous funding. Small Contributions can make huge differences. Have you identified your philanthropic values? Your charitable interests?Your passions? Your Ideals? Your Concerns? Values are truly meaningful ideas & beliefs close to our hearts, they reflect our principles & life paths. They come from what we feel when we see the world around us,, the news, world affairs,, disease,, poverty, ignorance, corruption,, deceit, hatreds, resentments, poor actions, what should be vs what is, etc. etc. etc. With many capabilities visible & possible.. Partnerships, Funding, contributions,, financial gifts, services donated, grants, combinations there in.. |
