The time is now to stop meeting and talking about what we should do, and start doing it.Β  If we are serious about our community, every time there is a meeting, event, workshop, activity, rally or something positive in the area, should be attended by every soul who is trully committed about the cause. Our kids deserve better. We can't wait!!!!!
