Read of how the Compassion movement in San Antonio started as a class project at the University of the Incarnate Word on November 12, 2009 and continued to become a significant influence in our city. On that day the Charter was inaugurated and 150,000 people from over 180 countries participated in various celebratory activities in places of worship, public spaces, schools, universities, and workplaces. Local people of San Antonio, especially those of the SA peaceCENTER encouraged people to build the ethic of reciprocity, to be more compassionate. Click on the Stories tab above to learn more.
