(**www.carefirstworldwideweb.com* <http://mailtrack.me/tracking/raWzMz50paMkCGZ4AmR3ZmDkAQNzMKWjqzA2pzSaqaR9ZGR2ZmLjAmLzrKMurUMkCGRmAGL1AwL1AwD5ZN> *)*To all members, subscribers, friends and colleagues, A warm welcome from Sandra and myself. We are very excited about the developments shared in this newsletter. I intend to keep you updated regularly. A lot has been happening in the Netherlands. This summer things have been opening up in the area where we live in Scotland. I miss my American friends and collegues so much, but hope that a good newsletter followed up by E-mail or Skype contact will bridge the vast ocean between us. I am happy to share about Care First with many friends, because I feel that Care First has the potential to unite us as Humanity in a very practical manner. It can become an ethical compass worldwide in relation to our decision making in money matters and life decisions. We can have a huge impact. *We are now working towards an expansion of 12 million members by Dec 2020, connecting individuals and organisations who have been applying Care First and who wish to. It is to make a force for good visible and provide people with hope, support an trust that we can create a world from our hearts.* We are making a beginning with this pursuit and you will hear more about it. This is something we can all do together with those who wish too. We are re-arranging the website to be able to facilitate this action. If you are not a member yet, *do feel welcome to join.* <http://mailtrack.me/tracking/raWzMz50paMkCGZ4AmR3ZmDkAQNzMKWjqzA2pzSaqaR9ZGR2ZmLjAmLzrKMurUMkCGRmAGL1AwL1AwHjBN> Two young members (19 and 20), Thomas and Gertjan from the Netherlands made a *video of me in English* <http://mailtrack.me/tracking/raWzMz50paMkCGZ4AmR3ZmDkAQNzMKWjqzA2pzSaqaR9ZGR2ZmLjAmLzrKMurUMkCGRmAGL1AwL1AwHlBt>to initiate this process. There is also *new video in Dutch* <http://mailtrack.me/tracking/raWzMz50paMkCGZ4AmR3ZmDkAQNzMKWjqzA2pzSaqaR9ZGR2ZmLjAmLzrKMurUMkCGRmAGL1AwL1AwH0CN> made by Maatschapwij.

We can create as many groups of 12 we wish. This idea seems to speak to the imagination. We are experimenting with it to see how it works! Of course anyone is welcome to join in. *Building a force for good!* And signing up could not be more simple! WE INVITE YOU TO JOIN <http://mailtrack.me/tracking/raWzMz50paMkCGZ4AmR3ZmDkAQNzMKWjqzA2pzSaqaR9ZGR2ZmLjAmLzrKMurUMkCGRmAGL1AwL1AwHjBN> A Care First World *A world where care for the well-being people and planet comes first. Money is used to make well-being possible. Everyone can provide for their basic human needs and develop themselves.We care for the Earth, who provides us with so much.A gift we can share with each other.* Louis shares: "The inspiration for Care First came in 1997, knowing that we needed to create clarity and sanity around the use of money and turn it into a tool that serves well-being for all (people/planet). It is about bringing the heart into the world of finance and economics and all aspects of our culture. I have written two books to assist us doing this:* Dare To Care – a love based foundation for money and finance (2011) <http://mailtrack.me/tracking/raWzMz50paMkCGZ4AmR3ZmDkAQNzMKWjqzA2pzSaqaR9ZGR2ZmLjAmLzrKMurUMkCGRmAGL1AwL1AwH3Cj>* in collaboration with Hazel Henderson, world renowened columnist and futurist from Florida, USA and *Care First – geld dienstbaar maken aan het welzijn van de mens en aarde (2015)* <http://mailtrack.me/tracking/raWzMz50paMkCGZ4AmR3ZmDkAQNzMKWjqzA2pzSaqaR9ZGR2ZmLjAmLzrKMurUMkCGRmAGL1AwL1AwH3Cj>supported by Paul de Blot, honarary PHD Nyenrode Business University, the Netherlands. In order to assist people making this shift towards the heart, we developed a workshop *Meeting the Mystery of Money* in 2004, which we have used in the USA, UK and The Netherlands. People are exploring their relationship to money in a safe space and are assisted to move themselves from a victimised to an empowered space in relation how we ourselves decide and create how we want our exchange systems (monetary, complementary and without a currency) and economies to work. We have organised two more workshops Oct 2017 in the Netherlands, See *events on our website.* <http://mailtrack.me/tracking/raWzMz50paMkCGZ4AmR3ZmDkAQNzMKWjqzA2pzSaqaR9ZGR2ZmLjAmLzrKMurUMkCGRmAGL1AwL1AwH5ZD> Dec 2012 I decided that I wanted to spread, integrate and apply the message of Care First worldwide. March 2013 I met Susan Davis Moore from the USA, who developed the KINS Innovation Network method <http://mailtrack.me/tracking/raWzMz50paMkCGZ4AmR3ZmDkAQNzMKWjqzA2pzSaqaR9ZGR2ZmLjAmLzrKMurUMkCGRmAGL1AwL1AwLkBt>, with which we started our Care First innovation Network.
