Message from the Executive Director
Thanks to all the United Planet leaders, volunteers, and supporters who have helped build United Planet into a global nonprofit over the past 10 years. Your support has enabled us to bring about greater global understanding and support communities in over 40 countries.
If we can get along across our family rooms, communities, and the mountains, deserts, and oceans of this world, there is no limit to what we can achieve. Getting along means understanding, respecting, and supporting each other regardless of race, religion, sex, or cultural and socio-economic background.
United Planet focuses on volunteering, cultural immersion, grassroots leadership, and dialogue to help us forge closer relationships around the world. I encourage you to get involved in the life-changing activities of United Planet and join us in this extraordinary effort to bring the world closer -- one relationship at time!
Sincerely,
David Santulli
Founder & Executive Director
