JWOC 2009 Short and long term goals

Vision Statement After five years of project development we feel that 2009 should be a focus on program sustainability and taking the groundwork that has been laid and creating strong, impact- based initiatives. We feel the mission of this year is to expand and perfect our current projects as well as support these projects migration to Laos and Myanmar.

Goals Long and short term JWOC goals for projects and the organization as a whole
