When thinking about the future
our activities should strive to:

optimise awareness about the importance of early human development
be compassionate about the roots of difference 
be open to the possibility of transforming old patterns
be good for us, for others and for the natural world
be beneficial for the seven generations yet to come
be done in the spirit of reciprocity
be scalable for others to use
not duplicate what is going on elsewhere
be respectful of the values and worldviews of others
