I did something totally unrelated to this project. I reached out offer support to a person in my community who is working to establish a 'gifting ecomony' system in our area. I wanted also to help someone in need in my community and asked this person for help with that project. By doing this, I created an opportunity for myself to meet a homeschooling father of two young children.
This person is interested in my vision of a Center for Independent Learning. He would like to gather other interested people in the area for a sort of 'information evening' event during which I will present my ideas, vision and the possibility of a way forward that supports parents in the area who want something more for their children than is currently offered in the local public school.
I could not have asked for a more perfect venue to present myself to the parents in the area who might be looking for what I have to offer. And the idea was his, which feels perfect to me.
This is a crucial step in the process. Such an undertaking will determine the level of interest and support for a Center for Independent Learning in Sutton village.
I have already reached out to my contact in Knowlton and she is very interested in attending such an event. So, we shall see what transpires!
If this project is relevant and of value to the people in this area, its time will come. It is through an event such as the one proposed by this homeschooling father that we will make a big step forward in realizing the viability of this project.
