Volunteer Revolution


"We need a new volunteerism...The old volunteerism was based upon charity. The new volunteerism is based on building a community whose values are shared equally."

-Deepak Chopra

Will this economic crisis breed a new culture of volunterism? As faith wanes throughout the world in financial stability and job security, are we embracing the value of community more and individuality less? What do you think?

Depicting a force that can't be escaped, this spoke to me on many levels. What do you think?
