Dear Sir/Madam,
I'm Thomas Salima from Papua New Guinea, a developing country in the pacific region. I come from a rural area in Madang Province of Papua New Guinea. I am currently a bacherlor's degree holder and working in Port Moresby, the capital city of Papua New Guinea. My village/community had faced a lot of social, economic issues in today's world and I would like to help set up a community development framework that will assist in reducing those issues and to increase the living standard of my rural community. Would you please help me with some advise on how or where i should start, what needs to be done to get the plan in place, the different components of the community development plan or framework, which people or organistion should i seek to gain help, and any donor agencies whom I should see if I needed help in terms of finance to establish special projects for the community. I sincerely await your reply. Kind regards, Thomas Salima |

I have used your excellent toolkit for my graduate course on leadership and social justice. Previously, the toolkit had a complete example of a strategic plan (related to adolescent); however, I can no longer find that example. Was it been taken down or moved?
Thanks! |

Hello, My name is Bianca Jenkins and I am a 3rd year medical student working in a rural community in Michigan. I work in Arenac County in Michigan which as of 2018 has been ranked #80 out of #83 for health rankings by county in Michigan. I am only here for 6 months, but in this time I have seen many health issues. The health issue that has been particularly near and dear to me is their ever increasing opioid epidemic. With that said, I would like to educate the community about the opioid epidemic, how it has affected and affects their community and what they can do to help but I have no idea where to start. I have been looking for statistics specific to Arenac county but since it is a smaller town, there is not much literature besides vague "drug overdose" mortality records. I guess I'm just not sure where to go from here but any advice would be appreciated. |

Hi,
I am conducting a study aimed at understanding the program and policy priorities of individuals who are eligible for federal food assistance. We are attempting to use a tool called CHAT (https://www.usechat.org/console/CHAT-resources/) which allows study participants to play a game where they prioritize a set of interventions in the context of limited resources (i.e. many more intervention options than the number of points they have to assign to interventions). The interventions are things like improving the grocery store environment, improving school lunches, etc. The challenge is making sure people who participate understand the interventions and also making the game board streamlined enough so that there are not too many options on the board. What tools are out there to make sure our language is accessible? How can we make sure we are meeting participants where they are in terms of describing interventions? Thanks |

At the moment, I am holding an event related to Public Forum on community truth-telling. Having been through this website, I see that Public Forum and Dialogue process is quite similar.
Could you please kindly provide some ideas on how to initiate the public forum as stated above?
Noted: we have survivors of torture from genocide and youth in total around 100 participants, some are from communities and some are from University.
Best regards,
Van Noeurn, Cambodia. |

I am facilitating the strategic planning process at a government agency for a youth violence prevention consortium. I have read your "Developing Strategic and Action Plans" documentation and am wondering how I should adapt it to a calendar. I understand the process can take between 3-6 months, and we held our first vision discussion in May. I'd like to know how long it should take so I can prepare the consortium members and staff. |

I am in the process of forming a leadership team (president, treasurer, fundraising, etc.) for a very small community choir that I am a part of. In order to manage our limited funds, we're trying to open a bank account, and I believe we'll need to open a business checking account. In order to do that, however, we have to file the business with the Oklahoma Secretary of State, and we can't decide which would be the best course of action. The trouble is that we don't want to do a DBA bank account, because that would require the director and/or treasurer to claim any income on their personal tax return. Similarly, we don't want to do an LLC or S Corp, because we don't want a flow-through tax model. The other option would be to file as a C Corp, but the problem with that is that the board will be a rotating group of people, with leadership changing every few years--so how do you decide who is an "owner?" Has anyone in your community encountered this before, and if so, what sort of advice could you give us on how to move forward? Thank you! |

Hello,
How do I know which community representatives (in Atlanta, Georgia) to engage for my particular issue? I am in the process of adopting a foster child (that has been with me for 2 years) we should be finalizing this month. This process has opened my eyes to systemic and chronic issues in the foster care system and I really want to help. I would like get involved perhaps providing support to overworked and underpaid social workers and case managers; perhaps providing a resource tool box for families trying caring for foster children Etc. Over the past two years I have consistently been given incomplete/inaccurate information by DFCS as it relates to our process. I have had to extend an abundance of energy trying to care for this amazing special needs child and even MORE energy following up with all the incorrect information from the agency. Honestly, my heart bleeds for all of the children stuck behind the red tape and I just need to know which of my elected officials is directly responsible for this area so that I can bring more awareness and solutions to this important platform.
Thank you |

I am a Nigerian with concern for peacebuilding and child development. Recently, I am working on a campaign that targets the juveniles in remand homes. I intend to carry out a value-based counselling and vocational skills training with the kids.
I need support in terms of 'how-to' resources and or curriculum that can be a guide to accomplish this task.
