A Purpose Greater than Oneself
Social scientists have studied the inner strengths of our young people in this country. With the untimed terrorist attack in the U.S., it is important as a community that we come together to rebuild the trust that was taken away from our youth.

Through the experience of the adults around her, she can be taught how to deal with the challenges she face and the how to understand herself in the process. Through community support she can become a well rounded adult and be prepared as she goes...
