CHARACTER BUILDING
Growing up in poverty myself, was nothing comfortable. I realized early on my family was only doing the best they could for me. This did not change the fact people at school would make fun of me. I had no idea, growing up, what good character was. Although I grew up in the church, character was something that I found out about later in life. Children, young adults, and even adults have had to worry so much about just making it, that understanding the importance of character had no place. Peace for poverty will change that narrative and build solid character in the hearts of those who have been under served.
