Introduction For ten years, Heart for the City has worked consistently in creating new ideas that seek to improve and transform the lives of those who live and work in major cities of the world. Our vision is to be a relevant organization that seeks to respond to City communities in addressing their needs holistically.

Heart for the City seeks to address Social, Economic, Educational, Health and Spiritual needs of its communities based on its Christian values. Over the years, we have developed strategies and resources that have impacted on the way we relate to our members and how that impacts on community development, social enterprise and spiritual development.

Our Sharp focus on the development of skills among Young people and the transfer of the same across the nations has opened doors in various cities of the world including: Accra in Ghana; Abuja in Nigeria; Bangalore in India; Beijing in China; Bujumbura in Burundi; Cairo in Egypt; Cape Town in South Africa; Chennai in India; Baltimore, Boston, California, Delaware, Georgia, Phoenix, New Jersey in the USA; Kuala Lumpar in Malaysia; Nairobi in Kenya Seoul In Korea; Sweden, Denmark, Holland among others.

In the United Kingdom, where our headquarters are based in Glasgow, we have established strong networks in Newcastle, London, York, Plymouth, Aberdeen, Oxford, Woking Surrey, St Albans, Sheffield, Luton, Bristol among others.

In 2012 we were actively involved in the London Olympic Games and learned great ideas, which we aim to implement at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. In order to establish our presence at the London Olympic Games and to effectively provide various services, we formed a company by the name of Diaspora Communities Support Services (DCSS), whose mandate is to ensure that we are able to develop an inclusive program which allows participating countries a chance to showcase the other things they have to offer the world, including their athletes.

We believe our initiatives will add value to the entire Glasgow community and will enhance the participation of the Ethnic minority groups and families in Scotland.

Vision DCSS have identified the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games as a great opportunity to promote various African, Asian & Caribbean countries that seek to showcase their products, market their countries and attract skills and investors.

DCSS is setting up a state-ofthe-art Global Diaspora Village in close proximity to most of the Commonwealth Games venues.

Each country will have its own outdoor/indoor Pavilion space, (circa 250 sq meters). The Village will offer visitors very high quality corporate hospitality and the platform to promote their own Countries’ Tourism & Business investment initiatives.

6

When complete the Global Diaspora Village will have an Amphitheatre with a seating capacity of about 500 people (500sq meters) for evening entertainment. The space will be used as a Religious Centre for faith groups, a Music Centre for various artists and musical groups, an Exhibition Pavilion for various brands and products, a food court, a relaxation area and a Media Suite.

Investment and Business suites will be made available to all Countries involved at an additional fee.
