The weekend of August 14 - 15, for more than 24 hours, the Charter for Compassion celebrated compassion around the world. It was an event that enriched, enlightened, and inspired us.
AND WOW! We heard from people all around the world who watched. They said:
"Fabulous!" • "Inspiring and Moving!" • "Motivating!" •
"Heart-warming & Hopeful!" • Touching!" • "Educational!" "Encouraging!"
"This brought me to tears" • "This lifted me up" AND MUCH MORE
