Margaret Mead once said, “never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.”
This vision defines the belief of Tsirigo’s Orbit. Caring for this planet and for each other takes each one of us doing one charitable deed. To that end, the following are some of the areas in which Melissa and Bob contribute time and monetary support. You may have your own list. The purpose of this message is to pass it on and keep up the good work. Thank you!

If you were to ask Heifer project partners, "What are the most fundamental principles upon which you build your life?" many would answer "Heifer's Cornerstones for Just and Sustainable Development."
These principles, used for more than 60 years, light the way for people who are on the road to self-reliance.
Cornerstones stimulate group wisdom and personal insights, and they keep people's hearts, minds and actions balanced, focused and productive.
