What is Rohatsu (also known as Bodhi Day)? Recently, Buddhists celebrated Buddha's attainment of enlightenment under a Bodhi tree. People celebrate the day in different ways such as sharing meals, coming together with loved ones, and performing acts of kindness.
Honouring different pathways to success. In recent updates we have celebrated different traditions, this week Buddhist. Each time we identify links relevant to bringing about positive change in our world, in this instance 'kindness'. Connecting these strands, a soulful approach is part of 'Purpose'; in our '4Ps' (Planet, People, Prosperity, Purpose). This relates to bringing about a sustainable future for all. You can read more about our 4Ps here. Or click here for our paper 'The Soul of Organisations'.
Acts of kindness. We are fortunate to have over 50 people, called Advisors, that contribute on a voluntary or reduced rate basis. Various Advisors have given their time very substantially, some since the date we were established. We are very grateful to all of them. The generosity and kindness of our Advisors creates ripples of change. These ripples help others achieve their goals. In doing so, this helps us to achieve our goals.

As an Advisor, Ushu (Ladwa-Thomas) has been contributing in very important and much appreciated ways. For instance, alongside strategic and governance levels, she has engaged at a workstream level with a wide range of organisations. This embraces consistent involvement with Children Watch, including very recently. Based in Tamil Nadu, India, Children Watch has been responding to a tragic emergency involving widespread flooding.

Christmas Cheer. We recently had a Board meeting with all the Caplor Horizons and The Commitment team. Together we celebrated with festive geese as our backgrounds and Christmas outfits. The geese are not only a symbol of Christmas but also represent our values and culture.
Signing off for the year. We are signing off until January and we look forward to being in touch in the New Year. We wish you and your families a happy and healthy end to 2021. Sending you laughter and cheer throughout the coming year!
