Two years ago we launched the Charter for Compassion and yet the people who have come forward to help us have not been religious leaders but business men and women. This is great, because business people know how to strategize and work practically. And they are doing so - in the United States, Pakistan, and the Middle East.
We have launched a ten year campaign to build an international network of compassionate cities. This doesn’t mean that these cities are already compassionate, but that they are working hard to implement the ethos of compassion realistically, practically and creatively in the difficult circumstances of the 21st century.
