It's been proven children become successful adults when reared in the right direction by those within the home as well as outside the home. As adults, we must realize the importance our decisions have on building our children, who are the future of this world. They're the adults of the future, the ones who will carry on the legacy of our names.

It Still Takes a Village to Raise a Child communicates your life is not in vain.
