The Village Link is building community resource centers. Each center will be customized to its location to:

• address local needs;
• preserve relevant culture and tradition;
• expand local knowledge and skills;
• foster entrepreneurial initiatives;
• help generate economic activity;
• assist entrepreneurs' access to capital;
• inspire innovation;
• assist efforts to alleviate local poverty.

The Village Link offers the first stop on a journey towards cultural understanding. Each center will

• provide an opportunity to gather and share information;
• grow hungry for information;
• gain access to a global forum;
• empower individuals to express ideas and engage with others in a meaningful way;
• shed light on differences and misconceptions;
• exchange knowledge locally, nationally and internationally.

Then truly global discourse begins.
