     to interact.

•   To provide opportunities for people to come together to share information, stories, personal experiences, explore new 
     possibilities, and solve challenging problems in a way that builds understanding, insight and creates mutually beneficial
     opportunities.

•   To build community capacity to promote, protect and support breastfeeding.

•   To foster collaborative processes among groups and organizations that encourage the free flow of ideas and exchange of
     information.

•   To help people organize and achieve purposeful action that delivers tangible results.
