"If we continue to allow poor Black children to become products of criminal, violent, self destructive environments, we too are a part of the problem."

Free Child Development and Parenting Schools
We are developing operations procedures for schools to be operated in community recreation centers or local churches.
- We must counter children's indoctrination into the negativity that is common in low-income communities. We must help parents understand that this indoctrination affected them too.
- We must prepare children for academic success with reading and arithmetic skills. We must teach parents a healthy respect for their children's educational needs.
- We must teach children social skills that will enable them to succeed in mainstream society. We must encourage parents to model goal setting and achievement.
- We must offer moral and spiritual guidance.

Family Oriented Redevelopment & Kinship (F.O.R.K.)
We intend to build facilities that will enable drug addicted single mothers to get drug treatment and counseling without being separated from their children.
After detoxing and undergoing intense therapy, the mother will begin life skills, parenting, vocational training and employment while living in independent living structures. This employment will be in institutional and/or commercial companies that will fund (F.O.R.K) operations. Age-appropriate children will also be allowed to participate in vocational training.
Family counseling and appropriate treatment for children will be provided to insure the family's productive reentry into society.
