My Action Pledge to Advance the DREAM?	I would like to focus on advancing the dream here in my community by bringing the Force for Health. I would like to see more community members connect virtually by sharing how they are being healthy. It will create a space that allows them to be helpful to one another and be able to share information and tips to each other.
