While seeking a specific publication for a customer I stumbled
upon " The Five Year Plan, 2001-2006: Summary of
Achievements and Learning", printed by the Baha'i World Center.
My worried mind went right to thinking "Well now here is an
outdated publication!", so I began flipping through the pages. Did
I ever notice the wonderful photographs before? Wait, an insert on
microfinance? An article on when and how to seek external funding
for projects!? Establishments of local schools?! Experience on
recruiting youth from the community for service?
This may have happened somewhere in the world over 6 years ago,
but just the idea of these were highly relevant to the locality
where I'm living. Perhaps to you too!
So let me share with you my excitement and renewed interest to
look through this wonderful publication with fresh eyes. Eyes
seeking to gain insights that might inspire and guide the
activities were are engaged in right here.
