This rally is a much needed event at the end of the summer because statistically much of the inner city violence goes on the rise during this time. For example, during the summer of 2007, when for the entire year there were over 400 murders, especially among young men of African American decent, there were over 100 occurring during the summer months. Just this past February, a young man was gunned down across the street from a community recreation center which houses a large after school program and day care with over 100 school age youth.

The community of Cape Three Points is located on the most southern point of Ghana, a small fishing village depending mostly on farming and the sea to survive. The people that inhabit the village are Nzima and have lived on the same land for many many generations. They are a proud people, holding tight to their culture as the threats of losing it grows around them.

Youth are often depicted and criticized for negative concepts that may occur within the community. One bad apple shouldn’t spoil the bunch. Every child deserves to be praised on his or her accomplishments. So here, is your chance to be recognized on your accomplishments, talents, or community service or you can acknowledge youth of Forsyth County that have gone the extra mile to reach a successful future. The youth today are our future leaders of tomorrow. Let’s give credit, where credit is due!

Pets helping People”
I am an undergraduate student attending Alvin Community College Majoring in Pre Veterinary Studies. I have an idea to start a club or a group of Volunteers in my community that can take there small pets up to the Retirement Center certain days of the week to let the elderly enjoy there company. I myself have a few pets of my own and really enjoy there companionship and good nature. Recent studies have shown that pets can actually be uplifting and reduce anxiety and stress.

The Video Game Club is a group focused on giving the youth of a lower income community the chance to have a safe alternative in the evening. The group will meet once a week in the leasing office of the community. The evening will consist of a life skills building activity and then the youth will be able to compete in video games on teams and against eachother. The gaming time will help the youth build self confidence, self worth and help them develop skills in conflict resolution.

This project involves the creation of "Care Packs," which will be bags filled with essential toiletry items for the elderly in teh assistance programs of a Trenton-area charity. Many do not have the essential tools to take care of themselves, such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, brushes, combs, hair dryers, soap, shampoo, etc., and often times they feel that they are forgotten. This project will provide them with these products, while at the same time letting them know that there are people who care about them.

The Live Oak Wrestling club is a creation of a newer and brighter opportunity for students in 6th to 12th grade. The sport of wrestling is growing in the area and this gives them an opportunity to join a sport which can mentally and physically prepare them for life. It is one of only three programs like this in the city area and provides the experience needed with 5 coaches and enough experience to give any child the chance to excel.
