Since 1988,
I have lived my life in prisons, schools, juvenile camps, and poor communities. My purpose
was to learn, to teach, to build relationships, and to make an investment in those who
wanted to make an investment in themselves. I knew that if given the proper opportunity,
most people would like to make a positive change in their life.
With the help of so many of you, this thought has proven itself to be true. So many lives
have been saved since 1988 because gang members and ex-convicts have taken a major step
and dedicated themselves to not only changing their own lives, but the lives of so many
others.
The success of "The Amer-I-Can Program" life-management skills education is well
documented both in quantitative and qualitative data, but that's not good enough.
Now, I'm reaching out to all communities and asking you to join forces with the Amer-I-Can
Foundation For Social Change in developing a national coalition of State and local
government, faith based and community organizations and law enforcement agencies in
declaring war on violence, particularly youth violence across the USA. Our weapons of
choice in this war will be love and caring, education, economic consideration, family
rebuilding, and consistency. I believe that these elements have been the underlying
foundation of our continued success.
With your help, we will succeed.
