14. Introduction
Social initiative is a strategic plan of action born from beyond the call
of duty, realized through passion, diligence and a genuine concern for
the enrichment of communities and the common good.
Social Initiatives are proven vehicles for driving change which have
blackened the pages of history for centuries. Unlike its cousin, the
mass protest, the social initiative commands thoughtful leadership from
a coalition of revered institutions and experienced professionals with
governance by an executive Board of Directors.
By the same token, it is a process by which great care, patience and
strategy must be employed, giving way to revolution through evolution.
