Those people would make fantastic monks, I daresay. Worldly attachments, shame over their desires and all of that.
I want to strengthen them. PRESERVE as I know it is a relief organization, they're always in need of volunteers and resources and what I'd like to be able to get for them is access to those things. A greater social presence, if need be. I don't want them to fall into the hands of a single entity, though. I want to protect them from grubby little corporations that might want to gobble them up if they start growing.
At least, that's my ultimate aim. Mostly, I just want to get a foot in the door and get a genuine job with them.

It's a noble goal, but—do we know if that's even likely?
I'm not saying it isn't, but I haven't heard anything myself.
I don't know if anything is likely, but I'd like to start with some sort of effort. I've been skating by since I arrived here, and... I really don't know what else to do.

The nice thing is that they're adaptable enough to not be that way.
