and acute
life circumstances. The empowerment of people to soar and

power to give to their communities and the world.

volunteer teams for relief of the poor, for victims of natural and man-made disasters
(i.e. refugees, orphaned children of AIDS, victims of violence).

PGHF aims to accomplish the mission through the following efforts:
1. Fundraising for projects such as clean, safe, and
healthy water for the world,
while collaborating and partnering with other organizations who have similar goals.

of the quality of life of those who are suffering such as doing needs
assessments
and direct disaster relief work.
3. Community empowerment projects utilizing a positive strengths-based
approach with value formation in uplifting people through their talents,
creativity, and their human potential to give, teach, and share what they
have learned with others. PGHF
believes that this is a key to community
development and sustainability.
4. Support and help mobilize the formation of autonomous LIGHT teams
(Local and International Global Humanitarian Team)
throughout the
United States and internationally. The LIGHT Teams are "spark plug" teams
and are groups of 4-6 humanitarian volunteers per team
who uplift and put

choose to champion
and work on PGHF projects mindful of the PGHF values of
serving others
with love and compassion.
5. Raising awareness for different local and global needs through various
educational events such as conferences, seminars, workshops, exhibits,
media, and books.
PGHF believes that each person can make a difference, no matter how small
or
large a job may be. Each person has the power to give.

Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. "
