I've heard the term 'a thousand points of light' and never really understood what President Bush meant by that. Was he talking about people helping? If so, we'll need a lot more than a thousand.
In thinking about the themes for Project Five Star, I've settled on my own little points, Points of Hope. Five of them, to match the whole 5-Star and a star theme in general.
Point One, at the top: Need a home, stay with us. The point of the project is to provide a decent shelter and food for men and women.
Point Two: Get Healthy. No one likes being sick, let alone being homeless and sick. And who pays for it? We will. A combination of in-house services and our own insurance program will get you the care you need.
Point Three: Learn a Skill and Use It. Hard to find a job in today's economy that pays the bills, when you don't have the skills that are needed in your area. And it's not enough to say I know how to do something if you have no verifiable experience to show potential employers. So we'll open our own little shops, restaurants and services.
Point Four: Find a job. Once you have the skills and experience and can prove it, what's to stop you from finding work?
Point Five: Find a new home. Find yourself a decent place to stay and help us help others in need.
I really wanted to add another point: Find a hidden talent. But those 5 points are the most important.
I'm working on a web site for the Project. The home screen will use a 5-point star and those main points to go along with them. It would be nice if some provider could give us some web space to put it on.
