30. Internal and External Environments
Challenge: Motivation to
work (feeling of insufficiency,
routine work, professional
jealousies)

partners, important
contributors
Activities: Workshops, team
building, SOP’s, assignment
of program coordinators,
trainings and seminars
31. Internal and External Environments
Challenge: direct interest
and attention to health
(dole-out mentality,
political patronage, etc)

influential leaders in the
community, and
empowering of
community through
these leaders.

44. My Role, The Pontiff
Latin Pontifex – pons (bridge) + facere (to make) = “bridge builder”
"I pray that I may never meddle, interfere, dictate,
give advice that is not wanted, or assist when my
services are not needed. If I can help people, I'll do
it by giving them a chance to help themselves; and
if I can uplift or inspire, let it be by example,
inference and suggestion, rather than by injunction
and dictation. That is to say, I desire to be Radiant
-- to Radiate Life!"
-- Elbert Hubbard
