- Partnerships For Change® privately sponsored a visit to the Earth Summit in Brazil where PFC showcased the efforts of the State of California and a movement to acknowledge the importance of self-worth in building healthy communities. PFC raised the funds, developed the programming, and made presentations at a series of forums: “Human Restoration: the Key to Sustainable Development.” The purpose of the trip was to introduce a more inclusive approach for sustainable development. PFC emphasized the environmental movement has, for the most part, excluded the role and value of humans as part of a sustainable world. Change must start within the individual and happen in a systemic fashion from within all living systems.
- PFC’s Jacqueline Miller and Andrew Michael presented to the White House, including First Lady, Barbara Bush’s Chief of Staff, Susan Green, and James Pinkerton, Domestic policy advisor for President George Bush, the importance of a national program to promote self-worth, self-esteem and personal responsibility as a social vaccine and “conservative” approach to prevent problems in education, drug abuse, and violence prior to their occurrence.
