![]() ![]() ![]() I believe this is symbolic of the choice we all have. The kids are thriving because someone gave them HOPE and took action to show them what it looks like. ![]() Yet, Cy-Hope chose to move into the neighborhood and welcome the children with an open heart. Interestingly, there is another church about 100 feet from this neighborhood, basically right next door, with a big iron fence around it to keep the kids in the neighborhood out. The kid's grades have improved dramatically all because a local church/non-profit asked what does this community need and then built the answer. So Cy-Hope bought a trailer, built the Hope Center and now all the kids in the neighborhood go there to learn, play and engage in healthy activities after school. The answer was an after school program for kids. Ray explained that Cy-Hope, the non-profit his church started, asked themselves how they could make a difference in this neighborhood and help the children. But then he pointed to the sign, Hope Center, and showed me inside. When Ray Hughes showed me a trailer in the middle of a trailer park neighborhood in the Cy-Fair, Houston area last week, I didn't understand it's significance at first. ![]()
