Who "We Are?

“WE ARE” a compassionate organization! 

Compassion involves feeling another person’s pain and wanting to take steps to help relieve their suffering. It is related to other emotions such as sympathyempathy, and altruism, although the concepts have some key differences. Empathy refers more to the general ability to take another person’s perspective and feel the emotions of others. Compassion, on the other hand, is what happens when those feelings of empathy are accompanied by the desire to help.
