School of The Nations recent press release of offering classes to its new location neighbourhood children is indeed an amazing gesture and this is also an ideal practice of community development.
I view it as a once in a lifetime opportunity for the selected candidates to garner personal self development, become role models and ambassadors for their community, which has on many occasions in the past came under a lot of negative outlook.
The elders of this community have also got to display their input in supporting the young ones in every way possible especially with encouragement.
The end products will be a representative of all in the community and I am also confident that if the selected participants produce unbelievable results, the institution might eventually consider offering to some, the opportunity of attending full time classes.
Change is good, because I believe it brings about progression and positive image development and I now wonder if the community would consider participating in a discussion with a government official, a representative of the institution and support a name change of the community from “Tiger Bay” to “Nation’s Bay.”
If the answer is yes, it would be an awesome decision and this in many ways can be a perfect example of community upgrading. Take it from here and have the project executed.
