Center for Global Strategies

I receievd an email from Johncy about an hour ago, with the info that there was a presentation here at Regent today by the Center for Global Strategies. Their "vision is to see a world connected to the global marketplace through personal, trusting, cross-cultural relationships.

"A growing number of visionary, non-military Americans and Western friends are rising to go into welcoming nations, or to act from within them, in order to “wage peace.” We want to honor in our own lives the courageous sacrifices that others, from the West and the East, are making to build a better world.
We yearn to do something meaningful and productive – even if it puts our own sense of comfort and insulated, suburban security at risk. Individually, we are driven by a variety of motives: duty, profit, humanitarianism, adventure, altruism, ambition, charity, etc. Yet, diverse as we are, we’re uniting through CGS to embrace the dual aims of connecting the world to the global marketplace, while developing the personal, trusting, cross-cultural relationships crucial to that task. We are Americans and Westerners ready to do our part. We are ready to do something real, something right now, to build a future worth creating for coming generations."

I'll ask Johncy to tell us more about what they do when he gets back. :)

Have a great day!
