We believe that every human being has the right to flourish in order to achieve the best possible life he or she can live.

However, human development can never take place as a solely individualistic enterprise. As social creatures, we need to consider the good of the others.

That is why we want to help people, who take part in our projects, to seek and find their own happiness through a generous and charitable giving of self to others. Only then can they really achieve their own perfection and experience a great life.
