A community showcasing work helping to alleviate poverty and to improve the quality of life for all. The issue is in fact nonpartisan as most people can relate themselves to enduring the difficulties that come with lack of resources or have known people in their communities who do.

Example: If only we could make infinite space work! Then there would no longer be scarcity.
