The wonders of Troy Shares

Thu, 2012-03-29 20:40 — Terry

At first glance, Troy Shares is about exchanging time.  If I help someone for an hour, then someone will help me for an hour.  Troy Shares is that, but it is also so much more. 

Troy Shares is about strengthening communities.  It's about shifting from a situation in which neighbors are strangers, wary of each other, to a situation in which neighbors help each other.  It's about shifting from feeling like we have to do it all ourselves to opening ourselves up to receiving help.
