Initiatives
Walk of Sustainability
A sustainable community is a community which involves collective performance to maintain a flow of individuality, yet combining the forces of everyone towards the enhancement of the collective. It involves the development of owned businesses, the drive to thrive and regenerate from within. To sustain a community, we must together focus on our values, our goals, our potential to strengthen from what is all around us. We must educate every child. We must rebuild each other and teach those around us.
