Creating Community
Today I'm reading a book entitled
Hearts and Hands: Creating Community in Violent Times. It is about how low-income communities might start turning youths away from gang violence through local, community efforts. While the methods expressed in the book are not the methods taken by the Forest Foundation, I find it to be worthwhile reading because in both cases our goal is the same: to create community. By looking at others' approaches, no matter how disparate, we can find similar themes in creating community. So that's what I hope to accomplish in my reading; extending the manner in which the Foundation can create community by studying the methods of others.
