In May of 2004 I participated in a leadership training program that asked us to develop a project utilizing our new skills. Either we design our own project or join an exisiting one. I choose to design my own project which is to develop a neighborhood organization for my community. At one time or another there was an organization, I feel confident it can be done again. It's something long overdue and it is evident that our community is not receiving the resources that is directed to our part of the city, of which includes Several smaller communities. but since we don't Voice our needs, I feel we don't get to take advantage of what resources instead, we get taken advantage of. I'd like to change that and give our community a voice once again.
