&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. What has community come to mean in your life?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;A Better Community for All (ABC4All).&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; Originally it was &amp;quot;Partnerships for a Better Community (PBC)&amp;quot; until along came Co-Founder&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://abc4all.net/bc.htm" target="_blank" title="Who is Bob Chew?"&gt;Bob Chew&lt;/a&gt; and stated it would be prefererd to be at the beginning of the alphabet and suggested the name change.&amp;nbsp; The rest is &lt;a href="http://abc4all.net" target="_blank" title="ABC4All"&gt;history&lt;/a&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. How have you become a part of a community? When did you know you were a part of that community?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Originally the concept for PBC came when we raised funds for Easter Seal Society Pool Therapy Program and other nonprofits in the local community, dating back to mid 1980s.&amp;nbsp; Being forced to retire from the profession of clinical psychology because of physical impairments, I began turning attention to ways to help larger segments in the&amp;nbsp;community and this led, with Bob Chew&amp;#39;s participation to the concepts for a new entity in the world, now known as ABC4All.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. How important is it to you that your community be a religious, faith, or spiritual community? What life experiences have influenced how y ou feel about this?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This question is best answered by an original poem, called &lt;a href="http://www.holisticjunction.com/displaypoem.cfm?ID=203" target="_blank" title="&amp;quot;Serendipity,&amp;quot; an original poem"&gt;&amp;quot;Serendipity.&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; The inspiration for this came from how so many developments related to ABC4All seemed to happen without trying.&amp;nbsp; As this phenomenon occurred over and over again,&amp;nbsp;there seemed to be&amp;nbsp;developing, at the same time, a &amp;quot;collection of Angels on Earth&amp;quot; who were assembling to become the Central Core Team of ABC4All (ABC4AllCCT).&amp;nbsp; Since then there have been so many developments (8+ years in the making) the info is overwhelming, but the history is well recorded in the &lt;a href="http://abc4all.net/techawardapp.htm" target="_blank" title="Tech Museum Award Nomination Application"&gt;Tech Museum Award Nomination Application &lt;/a&gt;and in the &lt;a href="http://abc4all.net/bbmg.htm" target="_blank" title="BBMG Grant Application"&gt;BBMG Grant Application&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. What does &amp;#39;service to community&amp;#39; mean to you?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The best answer to this question stems from a referral made to us by Ghanian Billy Yasin, an &lt;a href="http://projects.takingitglobal.org/abc4allglobalteam" target="_blank" title="ABC4All Global Mentoring TEAM Project"&gt;&amp;quot;ABC4All Mentor&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;who referred us to the &lt;a href="http://purposeful.org" target="_blank" title="Center for Purposeful Living (CPL)"&gt;Center for Purposeful Living (CPL)&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;where he had applied, and was accepted, to a full year&amp;#39;s scholarship/study at CPL in Winston-Salem, NC USA.&amp;nbsp; He is now applying for a Visa, but the CPL group is the &amp;quot;epitome&amp;quot; of service, developed with an active &amp;quot;training lab&amp;quot; for becoming a &amp;quot;Totally Responsible Person (TRP)&amp;quot; consisting of a local restaurant where all participants volunteer.&amp;nbsp; Their program had evolved over 17+ years of active service for the elderly, the disabled, the dying, etc., resulting in a training program which has since become an amazing opportunity for persons from anywhere on the globe.&amp;nbsp; Their book, &lt;a href="http://www.zaadz.com/people/books/Better+Than+Money+Can+Buy:+The+New+Volunteers" target="_blank" title="Better Than Money Can Buy:  The NEW Volunteers"&gt;&amp;quot;Better Than Money Can Buy:&amp;nbsp; The NEW Volunteers&amp;quot; &lt;/a&gt;has been &lt;a href="http://abc4all.net/universalcaring.htm" target="_blank" title="Universal Caring"&gt;reviewed here:&amp;nbsp; &amp;quot;Universal Caring&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. Have you had any experiences where &amp;#39;performing&amp;#39; Service within a community became a life-altering event?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The transition &lt;a href="http://abc4all.net/appc.htm" target="_blank" title="From a Lifetime of Rehabilitation to Making the World A Better Place"&gt;&amp;quot;From a Lifetime of Rehabilitation to Making the World a Bettter Place&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;has included an unexpected, unimagined, dramatic, miraculous rejuvenation not anticipated but so welcome.&amp;nbsp; The new lease on life has permitted a renewal and dedication to &lt;a href="http://abc4allpaw.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" title="PAW BLOG"&gt;introducing Plasma Activated Water (PAW) to the world&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;together with Global Humanitarian Relief via the &lt;a href="http://abc4all.net/why.htm" target="_blank" title="ABC4All Bridge of Relief"&gt;ABC4All Bridge of Relief&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and the &lt;a href="http://abc4all.net/consortium.htm" target="_blank" title="ABC4All Global Humanitarian Consortium"&gt;ABC4All Global Humanitarian Consortium &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;h4&gt;Info to share?&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1) Why is there physical pain?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Because we lack proper knowledge of ways to improve and reduce, if not eliminate, pain.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;2) Do you prefer western or eastern medicine? Why?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I prefer the &amp;quot;shotgun approach.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; In short, what works?&amp;nbsp; what helps?&amp;nbsp; Go for it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;3) Describe your own personal experience with pain. Chronic illness? Trips to doctors? Shamans? Hospitals? Accupuncture?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From a lifetime of rehabilitation to making it a better community for all:&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://abc4all.net/appc.htm"&gt;http://abc4all.net/appc.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;4) Have you or someone you know been miraculously healed?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yes.&amp;nbsp; Please see the addendum at the top here:&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://abc4all.net/techawardapp.htm"&gt;http://abc4all.net/techawardapp.htm&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; But it is not a miracle, just miraculous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) What is the biggest healing secret you have learned in your life?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Follow the &amp;quot;path of 8 petals:&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://abc4all.net/8petals.htm"&gt;http://abc4all.net/8petals.htm&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Burt Danet, ABC4All (Facilitator) &lt;a href="http://abc4all.zaadz.com/"&gt;http://abc4all.zaadz.com/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
