Here are most of the statements which we came up with during our meeting. Keep in mind what we’ve read in the social entrepreneur book, this is a statement that should summarize the -why- of our organization. Why are you putting in your time every week, what brings you to the 8am class and takes your time on the weekends, what is our goal? Now try to fit that on a t-shirt. Please give your input of your favorite parts by commenting on this entry.
