* Launch a program to empower b/w 160,000-180,000 community volunteers in sixty something countries (start, it'll take a few years to roll out).
* Complete 1-2 oil paintings, one a portrait of my wife.
* Add another country to my list.

@Abstraction that all sounds very positive - what are volunteers to achieve?

@Yulianna I work for a very large NGO that does relief, advocacy and development in poor communities. The volunteers are people in the community. They work with vulnerable children or supporting projects in other ways.
I remember a woman in Chile. I asked why she did this work for nothing.
"I used to call myself stupid Maria. But through this training and this work with children, I found a new Maria inside me."
That. That's what I want to do with this project. I don't work, plod, plod, plod. I always want to change things. In the process I get completely inspired by people like Maria, herself in poverty.
