Pledge to Protect Children in Your Community

Sponsored by: American Humane Association

In years past, neighbors used to sit on their front porches and be more aware of what was going on in their neighborhood.

But even if we don't have front porches anymore, we should still make an effort to become involved in each other's lives and recognize the power of one person in making a significant difference in the life of a child.

American Humane Association's Front Porch Project® reflects this belief that everyone can and should become more aware of how to help protect children in their own community.

Using a capacity-building approach, the Front Porch Project helps participants examine and understand their role in the lives of children and families, as they acquire new skills and learn safe intervention methods to promote child safety and family well-being.

You can take action in your own community. Pledge to protect children in your community!

I have a street ministry in St. Joseph, MI "Saving Souls Ministry" and I work with homeless and poor people as well as teens and especially children. Many who have NOTHING. Many children who don't even own a bike, any toys, games, or simple things like a coloring book and crayons. I try to give what I can and many times its hard. But I have yet to meet a kid who is not facinated by a box of colored chalk. Many times I go through neighbor hods and even my own to spend time with children and to play with them and minister to them about the Lord, making a difference in these young little children's lives. What we do for our children today will impact their lives and be a reflection upon their future. People RISE UP in your community and make a difference. Its the little things you do that makes a difference. Sometimes all a child wants is someone who will take time to listen to them or to do some little thing with them like playing a game or coloring with them. Or perhaps a hug or to know they are loved. Lets make a difference and show our children we stand up to protect them. Everyone can do their part. Lenette Evans Saving Souls Ministry St. Joseph, MI

I will keep my eyes out for the kids out playing.I will also pay attention to strangers or suspicious vehicles in the areal. And I always watch kids on bikes or skateboards that they don't take a bad tumble.

I believe I live in a fairly safe neighborhood, but just keeping eyes and ears open, and watching what goes on around us is important for everyone's safety, but especially for the children.

I will protect children in my neighborhood by making sure they are safe while playing outside & making sure they watch out for cars. I will keep my vehicle to the speed limit as well as slow down when I see kids playing.

i feel that it takes a community to raise a child and if the community is not willing to protect the children then who are?

It really does take a village. We need to care more about what goes on around us in our neighborhoods.
