 |
That we have the ability to tap into conscious and unconscious resources to change and enhance our lives. |
 |
Human beings strive to make the best choices available to them based on what they believe and know at a given time. |
 |
That positive change can be fast, fun and rewarding in a way that leads to long term growth |

That the purpose of Motivation Training is to empower individuals and groups so as to enrich all our lives. |

A Journey with P.R.I.D.E
I was greatly inspired by my
visit to Bangladesh to help support a small NGO called PRIDE
Foundation (Peoples Resources In Developmental Enterprises).
The Rabo Bank of the Netherlands and the Vrije University
of Amsterdam supports this organisation. The goal of PRIDE
is to help poor farmers around the world support themselves.
This is achieved by having leaders and organisers, who grew
up in desperately poor circumstances of subsistence farming,
talk to the farmers and set-up projects that will meet the
specific challenges they face. The clients must be living
hand to mouth, have small or no land or capital, poor communication
skills, be technologically badly served by existing institutions
and be of low social status.
Pride is currently established in Bangladesh with proposals
for establishment elsewhere in the developing world. The
people I met from the director to the poor farmers themselves
were truly inspiring and exemplify the heart and intelligence
that Motivation Partnership is proud to support.
With Pride
