“Alone, we can do so little; together, we can do so much”
– Helen Keller
“I cannot get my son to write…anything.”
What started as a simple conversation about the educational needs of a couple children and the heart desires of their moms, turned into a magical experience that blessed six families for 10 weeks.
“It takes a village to raise a child” is wisdom we often quote, but seldom boldly step into. People thrive in communities where they are seen, heard, and valued. When we learn, work, grow, harvest, play, resolve conflict, celebrate, and eat together we strengthen our bonds with each other and will be more inclined to not only acknowledge the humanity in others, but build a culture of mutual respect and individual effort and responsibility.
“It is not more bigness that should be our goal. We must attempt, rather, to bring people back to the warmth of community, to the worth of individual effort and responsibility, and of individuals working together as a community, to better their lives and their children’s future.” Robert F. Kennedy
