Few know that Humanitarian Resource Institute is a 100% volunteer
organization. Since 1994, mission has been prioritized over economics.
Instead of a business model built on the suffering and afflicted, our
focus has been to expand the reach of Humanitarian Resource Institute's
mission "To Bridge Unmet Needs to Untapped Resources." The cost
has been great, but the only way that progress could be made in a world
where economics many times is used as a weapon rather then a resource. -- Volunteerism & Citizen Journalism: You Can Change The World, Arts Integration Into Education, MySpace Music.
