Christine - nice article. At the end of the article, it mentions a packet about using Open Space that the Girl Scouts have put together for people to use at home. do you know if that packet is available?

- Hi Deb
I am a great fan in ABCD teach it all the time in helping churches reach out to urban under-served neighborhoods. Start with assets not needs. When start with assets you build on whats there, but when you start with needs you are stuck as the provider to fill the needs. Assets build people's ownership while needs build dependence. Go for it
