It has grown and continues to grow. I have always thought that the first step is biography. Everyone has a story, a piece to share but if you don't know what it is or there isn't a place to divulge this information then we don't know who is here. Of course we know some people the ones that stand out because they have clout or money or visual jobs. 1. Who lives in our community- in the past everyone knew everyone and that made a difference. Secondly, I think of the children and what they have gained from being with us as adults. Have they developed respect and do they see a life they can live with purpose. Are they mentored and cared for by the village, the community and the family. 2. Developing a picture of the children in our community. Family, food, shelter, jobs, transportation, health. 3. Have we developed a picture of our community, what does it offer. We need an easy glimse of where we are and what we have. Once we know ourselves we can begin to move outward. 4. What tools do we use to get to know ourselves, then just a step out to our neighbors, step by step. Do you know your neighbors, or is this the first place to start. Once we have all the questions, finding solutions or ways to go about beginning the construction are easy. Thanks for sharing your story.

1. Who lives in our community- in the past everyone knew everyone and that made a difference.

Secondly, I think of the children and what they have gained from being with us as adults. Have they developed respect and do they see a life they can live with purpose. Are they mentored and cared for by the village, the community and the family.

2. Developing a picture of the children in our community.

Family, food, shelter, jobs, transportation, health.

3. Have we developed a picture of our community, what does it offer. We need an easy glimse of where we are and what we have.

Once we know ourselves we can begin to move outward.

4. What tools do we use to get to know ourselves, then just a step out to our neighbors, step by step. Do you know your neighbors, or is this the first place to start.

Once we have all the questions, finding solutions or ways to go about beginning the construction are easy.

Thanks for sharing your story.
