Basic thoughts.

1. Based on the concept that everyone has at least one career and the continuous career development in life.  Everybody always has something to dream about or to overcome, The gardeners are needed to help watering and watching the sprouting, growing, and harvesting. 12:40 1/18/2017 (revised 2/23/2017)
2. The Gardeners of Hope Foundation is an organization to be developed for raising awareness, willingness, and the ability of individuals and groups of people in any form,  (2/23/2017)
3. The existing methods, including the philosophy, the approaches, the processes, the actions, the acts, the transactions, the tools,... are never sufficient for the functioning of the Gardeners of Hope Foundation. This means that the GroH, (the Gardeners of Hope Foundation) needs to explore, develop, and renew the methods involved in helping people grow and develop careers, continuously.    (14:05 2/23/2017, Central Time - US & Canada, time at St. Louis, Mo. USA)
4. The scope of services that the GroH might be involved is unlimited. This means the technicality, philosophy, and the knowledge involved are unlimited. There must be some commonality across all the possible fields and challenges. (14:08 2/23/2017, Central Time - US & Canada, time at St. Louis, Mo. USA) 
5. The bottom line of all the disciplines of helping is "companionship" the helpers must be willing to accompany the helpees in some ways, sociologically. This involves the two basic concept of "society" in the Hanji (so called Chinese characters in writing) . The concept of society in Chinese characters includes two concepts: "siā" 社 and "hōe" 會. While the former implies connectivity in a static sense the latter implies connectivity in actions, such as interacting, meeting with awareness of one another, or through institutionalization with written or un-written "rules".  (14:17 2/23/2017, Central Time - US & Canada, time at St. Louis, Mo.

Human Resources

1. Paid staffs: Paid staffs are needed for running an organization efficiently.

When the paid staffs perform beyond the paid duty they are functioning as volunteers and the work should be documented as volunteer services. The volunteers are the most important persons because they contribute to the experiences, the knowledge, and the development of the unique and creative methodology of this organization.
