Guam's private sector is also one of the most supportive in the nation. They support more non-profit organizations than any community our size in the United States. Whether it is sponsoring little leaguers, or junior golfers, sending our athletes to the Olympics, donating medical equipment, or air lifting patients off island, the men and women who make up our private sector are always at the forefront. However, the problems with our private sector begin when short term profits undermine long term benefits for the community as a whole. Unraveling these problems while protecting free enterprise is yet another challenge at the core of Vision 2001.
People are what Guam is truly about.
Guam has the friendliest most helpful and caring people in the world. However, the very fabric of our community is threatened. As we rush to keep pace with an ever changing world, the values we took for granted a generation ago are being pushed aside or forgotten. We take great strides to network internationally, yet we are losing ground in just talking with our children. Ultimately, Vision 2001 is about the quality of our lives.
