be part of a family and a community that recognize the value of the person;
be able to contribute to the construction of something with our own skills and

have an ideal for which it is worthy to live — an ideal of beauty, justice, truth
and/or love.
1. The promotion and development of local social network supporting the creation
and existence of local businesses, social interventions, communitarian
associations, schools etc., that should be rooted in the local culture and
traditions, while at the same time promoting the common good of those
communities.
2. The elimination or at least control of mechanisms that rob community wealth,
such as corruption and financial use of capital by persons that do not own the
capital itself.

where all are involved in the aim to ensure that everyone has enough to live, always,
where “enough to live” considers all the human needs that are far more than the basics.
I am hopeful to find stakeholders and potential partners that want to construct this global
movement that will lead us to fight against the suffering originated from poverty.
