| Unity in the Community A Grass Roots Project A garden teaches an adult or child about the delicate balance between living and surviving through a hands on relationship with another living organism. It teaches the child about the consequences of negligence. A garden provides a living laboratory where life's lessons are experienced and learned. The forgotten lessons that a garden provides can set the stage for new paradigms in teaching, school lunch programs, agricultural literacy, food security outreach and community service learning as well as an understanding of the agrarian world. Hope + Pray + Work = Success now that's a recipe for success! Our partners are: Ravendale Community Center Detroit Youth Foundation Consadine Community Center Cass Corridor Food Co-op Detroit Black Food Security Network Detroit Entrepreneurship Institute Detroit Ethanol Corporation. Manning Farms The Million Man Alumni The Shrine of the Black Madonna Michigan Coalition of Black Farmers We will be building a network with community, producers, researchers and educators to develop new and innovative ways to create jobs and a work force to build confidence and help eliminate blighted neighborhoods thru mentoring and new educational curricula to build organizations leadership and new youth leaders. New businesses emerge from the people that we are empowering through our community program. Please join in to develop new entrepreneurial businesses. In view of this worthy goal I have gotten the Brother Muga who has his Masters Degree in farming technology to teach me and others Farming Technology, which will enable me to teach organic farming and therefore lead a team of gardeners/farmers and empower our community this spring and summer. I have some experience in gardening and would like to disseminate agricultural education and to further organize the various organizations I am associated with to acquire funding, make a community garden and raise a new interest in farming. I know the experience I have and the mentoring education from this new and unique experience will become another unifying factor in our community as a whole. Some citizens want a whole village concept sociologically. Following is a survey to post in our community collective on my site. Respect and Love, Muqarrabah, Lady President, Division 407 Univesal Negro Improvment Association and African Communities League |

| This is Muqarrabah. My thought is: Every division every Shrine of the Black Madonna every NAACP SCLC every church or masjid should have a shortwave radio for communica-tion develop an emergency plan too. |
