Question: Is possible to assist me with usage at my rural area
Answer:

Hi Mavis,
 
Welcome to the Community Tool Box (CTB) and Ask an Advisor, we’re very glad you chose to visit us and for your question.  We also thank you for the work you are doing on behalf of your community and for wanting to improve the lives of everyone who lives there.
 
In sort, the answer to your question is yes, yes we can assist you with usage in your rural area, but you’ll need to provide us with more information about the type of usage for which you want assistance. Usage means many things so help us to help you by explaining, in as much detail as possible what you want to do in your community.  Once you’ve thought it through a bit more, do revisit the CTB again and we’ll take it from there.   
 
I think it would be helpful to explain how Ask an Advisor works. The advisor, in this case me, finds resources within the CTB in the form of chapters rich with information, toolkits with nuts and bolts, how to get stuff done information with examples, and community stories from people just like you who have done what you want to do, while drawing upon my own community building work to help you come up with the answers you're looking for.  In short, the advisor provides links to information in the CTB or from elsewhere if necessary, it is then up to you to sort through and determine the information likely to be the most relevant and helpful. If the advisor thinks her/his own experience might be helpful too then that's added into the mix. Make sense? 
 
With that, on behalf of the CTB thank you for your question, and for wanting to improve conditions in your community.  As I said, in your next submission provide us with more detail about what you want to do, specifically, so we can better serve you, that’s what we’re here for.  I’m looking forward to hearing from you again soon with more information.  Until then, we wish you the very best of success in all your endeavors.
