October 29, 2012 Hey guys, I bet you were all expecting

to see some looooooong paragraphs. We decided to switch things up and just give you a brief slideshow about our trip on August 29, 2012 and also a bit on the status of our project.

Some photos may be funny, but do enjoy.

All listening keenly as Mr. Wilson briefs us about the community

What has been learned? Importance of a vision and leadership Always have your contacts A community assessment enables collaborative

partners to gather information about the strengths, concerns, and conditions of children, families, and the community. 

Techniques for gathering assessment information : focus groups, community forums, interviews and surveys, and action research

Small-group approach helps families feel comfortable sharing their concerns.

Challenges in the project Finding a male single parent to show a balance of

single parenting Women's Action Group Meetings are held every

1st and 3rd Wednesday at 6:00pm of each month, but no one to accompany the group.

Outstanding areas thus far Cohesiveness of the group and the

participation of its members. Participation and co-operation of our

target group. Blog Spot Updates Progress in the compilation of the

project- Adequate photos and audio

Future plans to complete the project

Leads back to our challenges- Getting access to a male single parent- Visit the Action group meeting to which

we were invited to.- Plans are to revisit the community one

more time to contact these persons to complete the project.
