Village Builder's Project Paper

As seen through time, African-Americans have been at a disadvantage when it comes to accessing funds that are available to most people. This however has not stopped them from creating and accessing help that supports and aids their families. Through communal efforts, African-Americans have been able to create mutual aid for themselves. In these communities, there are many sectors that have been built, but the main reason many are “making it” or able to afford and do what they are currently doing is through the help of the various communities and organizations that came about.

Brice (2014) discusses social capital as key to the building of assets within communities, which includes “all of the potential resources in a community…financial resources, talents and skills of individuals, the capacity of organizations, political connections, and buildings and facilities” (p. 45). Throughout chapter four of the class text, various organizations came together to resolve the issues seen with African American females. The organizations were headed by female community leaders and intellectuals. They were successful in resolving some of the issues by drawing on their special skills and talents, as well as gathering resources from the town. Incorporation of social capital into hunger is imperative—this in combination with the application of the Afrocentric perspective (African and African American worldview) can aid social workers in approaching and contesting the issue of hunger in rural Nacogdoches County with respect to African

As Carol begins to feel included into their community, she takes notes of all the ways that the blacks in The Flats manage to stay afloat when the government make its pretty impossible for blacks in poverty to make it to middle class. In this book, Stacks includes many of these findings in detail as well as examples. “All Our Kin” mainly depicts the relationships African Americans have within their community that helps them manage their day to day life.

Atlanta in the past few years HIV rates have been compared to those of Africa. According to the CDC, 1 in 51 Georgians will be diagnosed with HIV in their lifetime. The target population I would like to work with at the Jerusalem House would be the children that might become affected by HIV/AIDS. Before working at Emory, I worked at a children’s hospital firsthand how kids directly or indirectly were affected by HIV/AIDS. Being able to spend time with the youth in this type of establishment to educate them on certain coping skills and other educational information or just be someone to listen to. Research has shown children that are directly affected by HIV/AIDS, can cause emotional, behavioral and development issues.

This document defines the Project Charter for a project to build the house for Mr. Anthony Carter and family in the area with main intersection Sheppard Ave and Warden Ave, Scarborough, Ontario.

It is said that it takes a village to raise a child, but that village includes community, school and the parents. Every village contains many different types of people, with different beliefs, morals and as a parent of a child that has attended school in Redwater for ten years, I have found that those different aspects of the village is what truly aids in preparing our children for the real world outside of our village. Not everyone in that village is going get along, the same as everyone in each workplace is going to like each other. If there is an issue that cannot be resolved within our village, or a problem a Doctor can’t solve, we look elsewhere and we keep looking until we find an answer. We cannot have our children live in a bubble where they don't experience bits and pieces of real

In Harlem, NY wraparound services are being provided for at-risk students with family dysfunction. Promise Neighborhoods serve distressed communities by delivering a continuum of services through multiple government agencies, nonprofit organizations, churches, and agencies of civil society (Egalite, 2016). The community as a whole works together to create a stable environment for youth at-risk. Promise Neighborhoods prove that it takes a village to raise a child. Education institutions cannot provide every service needed to help at-risk students so it is important for communities to come together to provide the assistance and support needed to help each student achieve despite their circumstances.

Are Tiny Houses a key to Nantucket's housing shortfall? Many believe tiny houses are the solution to Nantucket's shortage of homes. While the opponents would suggest tiny homes will make Nantucket look like a trailer park. Though that may not be the case, a few modifications onto the house and it could look like a cottage. The best solution for this crisis are tiny houses because they provide a home that anyone can build and because of not having a mortgage and the mobility it provides. .
