Welcome
to BWCA,
Better World Community
Adventure
Website.
A
dictionary define the word "ADVENTURE" as:
1. daring and exciting activity calling
for enterprise and enthusiasm. 2. fun
exploration of unknown. All our
BWCA
programs and activities are focused on
exciting and unknown better ways to spice
our lives, communities and our extended
bodies; people and nature.
Everywhere
there are people that constantly notice
that there is something in their
communities that can be done better, and
without waiting for permission or
recognition these wonderful people decide
to help, create, nurture and love their
communities, families, friends, animals,
nature and the entire universe. Then, the
most beautiful human values are exposed
for the betterment of everyone, humanity
and nature. Our dear Earth, our home can
be a beautiful and delightful experience
for everyone. It is up to us to share our
better ways to co-create a better world
for everyone.
BWCA
is
dedicated to Robert
and Barbara Muller
for inspiring day by day a POSSIBLE DREAM
-'PARADISE
EARTH'
in
our hearts. BWCA is also dedicated to ALL
the people that with heartfelt work and
simple ways are making a difference for
the better and little by little
we
are creating a happy and more peaceful
world. Let's
have FUN together ...

and The Bench of

Words
from Ann Perkins, during the
Bench of Dreams dedication
ceremony, an elder from
Kensington Park;
"This
is to wish you all the luck in
the world and to remind you of
the Bench of Dreams you so
thoughtfully made for us. "
From
Irene Slattery, an elder from
Kensington Park;
"Inside
each of us there are wonderful
dreams of love and hope. Now we
have a place of our own to get
much closer to our dreams and
plan our next
move."
