Preparing Communities for Leadership and Development

Take a look at some of the scenes from my Advocacy Planning Workshop (APW) with residents and leaders of the Fair Prospect community in Portland. It was held at the Fair Prospect Primary and Junior High School in Summer 2008 and was attended by the Member of Parliament, Dr. Donald Rhodd. There were also representatives from the Portland Parish Council, and the Social Development Commission at the workshop.

APWs were designed to sensitize leaders about advocacy, leadership, networking, group development, and communications, so that they would be better prepared to contribute meaningfully to community development.
