LILSHERMSWORLD THINK TANK - 25 YEAR PLAN - HOW WE CAN MAKE OUR COMMUNITIES THAT ARE STRUGGLING THE MOST - STRONGER AND BETTER!
THE PROPOSAL: The Neighborhood/Community Coalition Construct Idea!
Dear reader(s) – Welcome!
Imagine this, if you can! Wouldn’t it be nice if we all wake up in the morning and not (1) single person in the “World” 🌎is upset with anyone else, anywhere else in the “World”?
Now, I realize this may be very unrealistic to many "People" around the World, but why? In my mind the constant bickering between World “Leaders” has gotten old and played out! None of our World “Leaders” are going to dominate the “World”, yet they (Superpowers) make threats at the expense of someone else's life. (Military "People") All these "Leaders" seem to covet not being satisfied until they are dragging their “People”/Country down a rabbit hole full of death and heartache! Why?
My name is Sherman Shepherd, a Fellow Citizen of these United States of America, born and raised. But, when I consider how small these United States of America is when looking out at the “World” 👀, it begins to not matter how big "America" is compared to smaller countries, simply because of how big the “World” is. So, it becomes important that "We" realize that "We" are also Citizens of the "World" and accept that there are genuine issues Worldwide that matters to every Citizen of the "World", no matter your place in the “World” or who your "Leader" is!
As the late great Bob Marley say's "We don't need no more trouble!"...
Worldwide we all are wishing to live in the “Best” neighborhood/community in every aspect possible. So, I come to you with a proposal of change and hope for neighborhoods in these United States of America that feel hopeless and have no expectation of any serious change, because there has been none inside their community, or more specifically on their block inside their neighborhood their entire life, inside their neighborhood.
This proposal comes with good tidings of immense joy meant for "All" the people of the World to experience, "All" races, of "All" colors, wherever "You" may live.
I am asking while you read this open letter to keep in mind there are countless neighborhoods around the World filled with wonderful "People", and this is true throughout the entire United States of America, but unfortunately many of these "People" live without hope and in fear of their lives every day.
Because they are surrounded by blocks and blocks of devastated and condemned neighborhoods with no plans in place to re-build the area and no idea of what to expect next for the community, and no reason to expect positive change anytime soon in a neighborhood that has been falling apart for generations.
The list of reasons why different areas of this country and around the World is struggling are miles long with “practical reasons” of why(?). The issues below are just some of the issues to consider as “practical reasons” why our neighborhoods struggle with the simple things that link a community’s needs together:
I come to you with a proposal (25 Year Plan) of complete change for entire communities in need. A proposal of re-development and re-direction, a proposal (25 Year Plan) that would allow every diverse neighborhood within different community’s to completely revamp or re-invent themselves, if necessary.
But “WE” need to be ready to roll up our sleeves and do “OUR” part as the Citizens of where we are in these United States of America and around the “World” wherever you as a Citizen of the "World" may be.
If you would consider this proposal (25 Year Plan) with an open heart and an open mind, I have a plan (25 Year Plan) that would address these issues and many more that come up in “Life”.
This proposal (25 Year Plan) will include, but not be limited to targeted programs for age groups at specific times of their “Formal Education” (USA) and will have specific programs for "All" children collectively to include but not limited to:
Ropes and Ladders Foundation / High School Consignment Shop / Business Affairs
Ropes and Ladders Foundation: Focus – Mental/Physical Health Awareness / Diabetes
Prevention and Screening: Purpose – To educate and create better living conditions in hopes of developing positive thoughts and habits, avoiding negative behavior and habits that would lead to multiple mental/health issues.
Solution: Educational Programs – Community Involvement by Re-imagining our Public School System and our Vocational Schools.
What will this offer?
The opportunity to build (literally) a positive future within different communities with an all-hands-on deck mentality!
Who is this offered too?
All students regardless of color or history or belief!
What domestic skill will these students leave with?
Home Management, Cooking Etiquette, Arts & Crafts, Trade Skills, Basic Life Skills!
Ropes and Ladders Foundation: is meant to give children guidance, a support system, and at times a helping hand they might need to navigate the beginning of this/their life, and we understand it only takes one poor/good moment of decision that will have a direct influence on the rest of their lives.
Targeted programs: The end result for teenagers 13+ are not only meant to prepare them for their future outside of school, but also to benefit their school and community in real time. Over time inside these programs, with proper oversight from accredited professionals, the students will gain hands on experience through the trade skills/internships-apprenticeships programs that would help address current, and future (multiple) needs of many "People" throughout the community.
These programs are meant to benefit the school(s) and their immediate neighborhood/community(s) while students are receiving their "Formal Education", by contributing and participating in class functions, school projects (community based), and the beautification of school grounds and be a support group for specific need in the surrounding areas.
Through targeted programs such as the "Food Service", students will help with daily functions such as helping prepare school meals (Food Services) using naturally grown items that come from the school’s (Community Gardens) self-produced food options. Some student made and created items will also be used for functions (formal school settings) that will highlight many students "Consignment Shop Items" created by students within programs meant to highlight student creativity, imagination, and vision... This Proposal is still incomplete with work that still must be done, but realize, understand, trust and believe...
"The story continues."
25 Year Plan... The possibilities are unlimited. Think about it!
