I Am Here to Create a Network of Partners in Supporting Our Mission

[Rev. Dr. Norma J. Patterson]

I am so very glad that I have this opportunity to join this network of educators and friends in hopefully joining with our organization in our effort to empower our youth and families within the urban centers across America and beyond through our International Wellness Network, Inc., a global missions ministry serving as co-creator, creating a "poverty free world where all children can thrive". I am a Holistic Health Theologian, with a number of years serving in the capacity of diversity trainer, organizer and developer for the non profit sector, faith communities and the business community. Our 501C3 organization is focused on creating "social entrepreneurs and community organizers", in an effort to empower limited income communities to raise themselves up out of "poverty" through "social entrepreneurship". I am hoping that I may have a dialogue with this network on some of the ways you have experimented with success in challenging the minds of children, and successful outreach methods in reaching out to parents. I have learned in my experience in working with diverse communities that we can not put every one in one box, culture, spirituality, family structure and other diverse issues are involved in the complete make up of a human becoming, and it is not cut and dry, as the traditional systems have been designed whether that has been within our school system, business and professional communities and more importantly our religious institutions.

I am hoping that you may visit my sites at:
