Community Development is my deepest interest, because it entails the Community as a Whole, which to me encompasses the Social, Spiritual, Physical, Emotional, and Mental make-up of all Communities no matter Race,Color or Creed.

Mission Statement  Edit

The INCREASE the PEACE Campaign officially began on Saturday, April 26, 2008 at Mount Calvary Baptist Church, 1257 W. 111th Street in Chicago, Illinois. The INCREASE the PEACE Campaign is designed to RAISE MONEY for existing, positive, effective youth programs and to RAISE AWARENESS about the senseless violence that is taking place in our cities. It is our belief that when youth are active and involved in these programs, they will be safer and fewer will be idle, allowing for negative things to happen.

It's good to see "Religious Leaders" take a stand for what's right. I believe that through Prayer, Fasting, and Developing a Strategy we could raise more then One Million Dollars. Call me when you need assistance, Shalom and Agape!

This wonderful organization has a rich history in Palatine where it supports people with developmental disabilities through housing and services. Many come to Little City as children and stay their whole lives. I met with them to discuss a gardening program they had in mind. Here is what we learned from each other in the meeting: Gardening brings so much more to a community than growing vegetables. Little City wanted to have a Pumpkin Patch.
