GKs starting principle is that until people believe in their own dignity and capacity to contribute for good, no amount of resources or technical support will overcome their alienation. The pain is in the heart more than the pocket. GK commits to the person and the community without seeking anything in return. The quality of this commitment is the secret of its success.

When people have a sense that they are loved, it becomes much easier for them to respond to and engage in other measures which will improve quality of life. The quality of GKs love and how that is formed in the volunteer care groups and in the supported communities is everything. There can be no development without values to underpin it. These values must reflect the highest desires of the people and they can be taught. Volunteers make better teachers than paid officials. This care and love is universal and beyond culture.

The resources are available for all of these programs; it is creating the motivation to engage them and on terms where the community has some real say in how they are delivered.
GK as Enabler
GK can empower communities to take these steps and can provide them with the partners to support them in the process. GK becomes a facilitator in creating the platform for convergence; the platform for development.
