Mission
The Global Charity Project's self-stated mission is to "bring together students of Marymount University to help build a sustainable future for people everywhere. It works to raise money and collect resources for the underprivileged while endeavoring to instill a sense of altruism and charity in the Marymount community. The GCP engages in assistance initiatives both domestically and internationally which focus on capacity building and self-help development."
The group maintains that every person has a personal responsibility to charitable to their neighbor whether they live next door or a thousand miles away.

Famous quotes containing the word mission:
“I cannot be a materialist—but Oh, how is it possible that a God who speaks to all hearts can let Belgravia go laughing to a vicious luxury, and Whitechapel cursing to a filthy debauchery—such suffering, such dreadful suffering—and shall the short years of Christ’s mission atone for it all?”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Man is eminently a storyteller. His search for a purpose, a cause, an ideal, a mission and the like is largely a search for a plot and a pattern in the development of his life story—a story that is basically without meaning or pattern.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“The mission is too important to allow you to jeopardize it.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
