“My dream for my community is to have an abundance of love. It takes a village to raise a child, meaning that without the love from the community and surrounding others, a child will not know the true meaning of affection, nurturing, unity, trust, acceptance, etc. These are all factors that build character and develop early in a child. It is important that they learn these elements early so that they understand the building blocks of life.”
