When it is so difficult to plan for anything away from such valuable limited possessions, community partners help with basics and make a huge difference.

Families who experience loss of a loved one to addiction are often left with more questions than answers, but it’s the pain of political negligence that is the crime. We need deep collaboration between the US and Mexico in order to benevolently guide our complicated and connected destiny.

Sally Griffin’s take on how to guide and support students to actual life preparedness is the closest thing there is to The Parenting Bible. Her lifetime of experience, and many degrees in education, has led her to take a basic approach to working with children in the school system by being honest, brave and communicating. It is vitally important to the success of a student that parents participate at all levels and teach their kids the endless value of critical thinking.
