Today communities which did not keep the promise of the ancestors can be restored through new agency. This group of leading community development practitioners catalyzes community health/wealth through sustainable and inter-generational land ownership and transfer; increased revenue streams through neighbor-owned businesses and buildings; and revived thirst and resources for vibrant lifelong learning. |
