S.A.Y. Principles

 S.A.Y. is guided by the following principles:

  1. We can’t be a part of the community and live apart from it;
  2. A person at risk makes all of us at risk;
  3. “I shall pass this way but once; any good that I can do or any kindness I can show to any human being;
    let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.” Etienne de Grellet;
  4. “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Ghandi;
  5. Look beyond the faults of others, see their needs and address them;
  6. A soft answer turns away wrath but a harsh word stirs up anger; and
  7. Respect the pride and dignity of every individual.
