Dear Hannah - As the name suggests, The People In My Neighborhood (TPIMN) is a project that helps me learn more about where I live.

Dear Hannah - Vision, Mission, and Steps provide a path that helps you to walk in your life's purpose. Vision describes what your efforts will produce / create - it describes your "end". Mission describes the concrete path to your vision - it describes your "means".

Love, Daddy
