"We work with the people not out of pity but out of respect for their potential for growth and development, both as individuals and as communities."

Previous Quote

Our present stress on growth and productivity is, I believe, intimately related to the decline in rootedness. Faced with loneliness and vulnerability that come with deprivation of a securely encompassing community, we have sought to quell the vulnerability through our possessions.
