Why I support the Compassion Coalition

I've joined the GCC to build a sense of community and work towards a goal with a purpose. My goal is to help organisations, especially education-focussed ones, to reduce unnecessary suffering. I think being a part of the Global Compassion Coalition will enable me to work with others with similar ambitions to achieve this.
