Our Vision
COMMON GROUND AND HUMANKINDNESS
Greater good is most easily achieved when we find and stand on common ground. Humankindness is realized when we focus and act on what we share. Ken Streater has witnessed this in threadbare and thriving places around the world. His belief in our ability to fix what ails us comes from eye-opening experiences and deep interactions with everyday heroes across the globe. Be it showdowns with angry hippos, tropical nuclear attacks, billionaire shenanigans, Siberian soccer wars or quiet conversations, these events and others motivate Ken to foster positive change. He hopes to talk with you soon about building better communities.
