To help abused or neglected children become contributing members of society, interventions must go beyond "band-aid" approaches. They must help to reconcile families and prepare young people for independent living through concrete, hands-on, effective strategies.

   Inspired by proven social service technologies, "A Children's Village" will provide a year-round community for 200 children, including siblings, who have been separated from their families. At "A Children's Village", children will breathe sweet country air, hike the rolling hills, play sports in the vast fields and rest beneath the shady oak trees.

   "A Children's Village" will give children a sense of purpose, character, dignity and values. It will help them realize the promise that is inside each one.
