No One Walks Alone (NOWA) is the vision of Jim Olhausen. Jim, a cancer survivor himself, who believed that being diagnosed, was an assault on his and his family's life. This assault eventually transformed his perspective of life in that life was not about avoiding death but about living fully. Cancer became his opportunity and most precious gift, a transformation of his BE-ing. More info.

The intent for this project began with the desire to ensure an adequate, clean source of water for the village of Mollamarka, Peru, a small village of Quechua people, in the highlands east of Cuzco. The villagers are a quiet, shy, loving people who love others because we are humans on the same planet. They live in union with the earth, a true community of cooperation. The Quechua people have lived this way for more than five hundred years. We will continue to approach them with respect and honor for their way of life. More info.
