Getting Started

This is really fascinating! I have been trying to get myself in contact with agencies or people who might be able to assist in beginning the project here at the church. Everyone I talk to at the church gets really excited by the idea. I think we'll easily have the necessary hardware to start. There seems to be no opposition to the idea of homeless youths coming to this facility. I haven't had anyone particularly try dissuade me. I can say that the worse reaction - which I do not think is anything but realistic - came in the form of advising me to consider, first, a pilot project with a few kids before expanding very far. This makes a lot of sense to me.

Where I have had difficulty is getting people to return my calls. When I get someone on the phone, I have no trouble getting them excited. However, it has been difficult to get people on the phone.

I will persevere! Anyone have any suggestions?
