YES WE CAN

The Inspiration
YES - We Can! Community Leadership Program was designed and will be personally guided by H.H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.

H.H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar (1956, India) is a revered spiritual leader and multi-faceted humanitarian. His mission of uniting the world into a violence-free global family has inspired millions to work towards sustainable peace, community development, and harmonious coexistence among different peoples and cultures.
In 1997, he founded the International Association for Human Values (IAHV) to identify and foster on a global scale the fundamental human values shared by all societies, religions, cultures and civilizations.
