Notre impact

Lorsque nous parlons de notre impact, nous utilisons l’image d’un arbre fruitier, représentant la croissance et la vie dynamique.
Même si un arbre peut être planté et entretenu – et nous avons un rôle important à jouer dans ce domaine – un arbre a sa propre vie. Et c’est aussi ce que nous pensons de notre impact. Nous sommes des pratiquants et sa vie aura une vie bien au-delà de nous. Nous nous engageons à travailler à la réalisation de notre vision et de notre mission dans le cadre d’un environnement beaucoup plus large d’espoir, de changement et d’impact.
