After a long fight and many sleepless nights, AVillage, Inc. and Partners has "Won" the fight to get a "Bus" up Morton Avenue Hill! we Just left a meeting with The Executive Director of CDTA, he looked us in the eyes and said that "You will get your bus"...It just goes to show, if you stand up for what you believe in, the sky is the limit as to what we as a community can do when we come together!
The People Have Spoken!! An Example of a "Community/People coming together"
We can get the resources that our Communities deserves, only if we work together!

After two years of leaflets, petitions, neighborhood meetings, lobbying politicians and twice crashing CDTA's board meeting, residents of the South End have been assured that they'll get their long-awaited Morton Avenue bus.
"We've been on Cloud 9 since we got word. We're going to have a party," said Willie White, executive director of AVillage Inc.
"This took a lot of effort by a lot of people, but we stood up for something we believed in," White said. "This is a victory for the South End. When we join forces as a community, the sky's the limit."
I really love my Grand-babies. They've bought me so much joy. I don't know how I could live without them. They have really changed my perspective on life. I believe that they have made me understand and appreciate the love that we should give too all Kids. I truly want to share this with other Kids in our communities. My Grand-babies are just a joy to be around, the love that I have for them is unmeasurable, why can't this love be extended.
The work that AVillage is doing will touch a lot of children in our community. AVillage believes that we are all extended Parents. This summer will be a tell-tell story for AVillage, we are building a Stage on a "Vacant Lot" on the corner of 4th Avenue and Elizabeth Street. We will bring Kids from all areas of the City to explore their talent. Our Kids are very talented and we will challenge their energy, we are also doing a farmers Market where we will create a Entrepreneurship Program, which gives the Kids a chance to learn how to do business and be responsible for their own bank accounts.
We are excited about our spring/summer Months, we have so many programs that we want to do, and so many that we will do. We have secured funding for our Stage and some programs, but we are still looking for funding for other programs. We will not let money stop us from doing the things that we want to do, altho money will help us, but not stop us.
We are working with a Farmer for our Farmers Market. Fred and Carolyn Wellington of "Wellington Farms" in Schoharie Co. who are very committed to the well being of the children in our communities. So please pray for our programs and the success of our organization. Thank You, AVillage..., Inc.

I'm so happy with the Members of AVillage. We had a our weekly meeting on last night. Ordinary People coming together with the motivation and Inspiration to make change and change we will make. We have so much that we are working on and we are no ways tired! we are working on updating our website, please take a minute to visit our website and get ready to be Inspired, http://www.avillageworks.org/
Your help is very much "required" in order for this change to happen, please keep in mind that our children are also your responsibility, "We are the change that we've been waiting for" Barack Obama, our destiny is not written for Us but by Us!, It's up to Us to bring change to our own Communities, if we wait for someone else to do it, change will never come...Let's walk together...AVillage, Inc.
I sit here and read some of the messages that people are writing on Facebook, and it breaks my heart to hear the quotes, scriptures, messages and other post. You would think that we have it all together but still I go out in the community and see the same things happening to our children. What are we doing wrong? Where's the answer?
My biggest discuss is that people are quoting the Bible as if they are really living it! "Stop It" my suggestion is that you live it and then quote it! are we doing it for other people to think that we are people of God? "Action Speaks louder than Words"!!! I am beginning to hate Face book...People are not Real! it's all a Show!!! Let's get real people!
AVillage..., Inc. "In the true spirit of AVillage" Members rallied to support a Senior Community Member who recently got out of the hospital. This morning, 6 AVillage Members arrived at her home with flowers, baked goods, cleaning supplies and love. AVillage respects it's elders, and we believe that they should never feel alone or be in need of food or support.
