    Imaginative

    Your homeless, how as a leader do you become a indivisual whom join’s with a team to build a way that homelessness is another form of renter’s assisstances?

    Here is a example:
    Moses and The Israeli’s travel The Sinai Desert “To find The Promise Land”
    They to were homeless, had no care packages and no food until manna fell from Heaven.
    Like them a censors was made to show within Rhode Island the need for this play and where the funding will go. I recieved a gram from News Feed and was told that Grant , granted some grants from project outreach to assist with production.

    Citizens of all economic royalites expect to be invited to the performances.
