If you were financially able, what type of assistance would you provide for your community as a way of giving back to the community?
I would assist with employment and education.

I would start a program that would allow my community to be totally self sufficient. We would have solar power and more energy efficient housing. We could grow our ouwn food and teach our own children. We wouldn't need to rely on the government or anyone else for that matter.

True, there are many Horse that don't need to be led or shown how to get the water but just need a little crutch and respect. People don't know how far even respect goes for the human spirit. Being that I drive, and am presently off of probation, I will probably ask my jobsite to allow me to assist taking commodities to the next disaster area in. When I can afford it I will do it in my personal truck because I won't need the fuel to be handled by someone and the permits to cross state lines.

So true, but please don't be a Man Hater in the process. There are those of us who have been fighting for our children with no avail. But yes Parents/Mothers do need to be educated to help their family succeed and especially here in L.A. that their child is not a paycheck. Have children out of Love not accident, or ignorance.

I would probably use my money to improve education in my community or better yet in my country. There are so many kids out there that have the potential but because of they're poor, they can't afford to go to school. They would be lucky enough to even go to a public school. My sister and I dream to someday build a school of our own and even provide scholarships for those who need it. However, we need to raise the money first before that can happen. But we're really hopeful that we can achieve our dream.

Put your dream on paper, plan out what you need to acheive it. Put the word out that you are looking for volunteer teachers, seek accredidation from your state, request small donations from paents and seek same from corps. looking for tax write off's. You don't care why they donate, just that they do. And guess what. You have your school. A school is a place to learn. You provided that then epand as able. But people won't do this without you having a written plan much like a business plan. Good luck and I hope you do well.
