- Partnerships For Change® assisted the Bay Area Council with organizational and strategic merger issues. PFC led initiatives on confidential succession, scenario and strategic business planning.
- Partnerships For Change® was invited to visit India and various humanitarian programs by Swami Satyananda, an Oxford educated spiritual entrepreneur and teacher at Stanford University and former UN representative. PFC created partnerships throughout its travels from northern to southern India. During this trip, PFC supplied food to feed hundreds of Saht gurus (Holy men) at the mouth of the Ganges River in Rishikesh, India.
- PFC’s first hand experience of the Tsunami on December 26th 2004 deeply affected it’s desire to support those people impacted in India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia as well as the western coast of Africa. Partnerships For Change’s decision to form a partnership with Father Raj Lawrence, entrepreneur and spiritual leader, and St. Thomas Basilica resulted in building a “Free School” for many of the children who were devastated by the Tsunami. Numerous humanitarian projects resulted from this visit. PFC acknowledged the efforts of Father Raj Lawrence and Barbara Urban for their work in reviving and renovating the St. Thomas Basilica in Chennai, India. While there, PFC noted the deplorable condition of the school, which sat in the shadows of the newly renovated St. Thomas Basilica.
- With the approval of the UN, PFC created “World Voice” to celebrate the United Nations 60th anniversary. This event was to celebrate the UN contributions as well as advancing the UN Millennium Development Goals. In addition to lining up a world-class concert producer, PFC negotiated the prestigious advertising agency of Burson Marstellar of NY, to create the advertising campaign for “World Voice.” An office located at UN Plaza was secured to promote the event. Political issues beyond PFC’s control prevented the event from being realized.
