Lessons to be learned from GEESE

It is quicker and easier to accomplish things if we do them together rather than separately.
We should pay attention to and recognize our individual limitations, and we should willlingly rely on others for assistance, guidance, and support.
Shared responsibility, participation, and involvement are essential.
We should do our best to support and encourage others rather than criticize their shortcomings or failures.
Members of a community do not abandon their peers in need.
