When we as individuals think outside ourselves, we have the power to facilitate change. When we think of others’ lives as linked to our own, our compassion grows. When we reach out a hand to one...We influence the condition of all. We build the strength of our neighborhoods. We bolster the health of our communities. We change the lives of those who walk by us every day.
