In an effort to comprehensively document the mind-boggling impact
of violence on the lives of our children, I am initiating "The Tenderness Trail." I envision "The Tenderness Trail" to be
the internet's most comprehensive, global look at violence in the lives of children. "The Tenderness Trail" is a place to
pray, a place to plan, a place to act, a place to learn, a place to heal and a place to grow.
It is my vision that "The Tenderness Trail" serve as a bridge globally...to enhance
cultural understanding, empower communities and peacefully tear down walls of indifference, apathy and hopelessness.
"The Tenderness Trail" is a collection of hundreds of pages...one for each state
in the United States, and one for each nation of the world. Each page(s) will include, minimally:
- As comprehensive as humanly possible, a listing of children who have died as
a result of violence. When actual identities are not known, an attempt is made to document the impact of community issues
such as war, civil disobedience and other issues of violence. When possible, a link is provided to offer more information
on each child.
- A comprehensive listing of community leaders, civic organizations and other referral
sources.
- A "State of the Children" report offering a comprehensive look at both strengths and
weaknesses for the state and/or nation in question. This may, at times, include pending legislation, national issues, humanitarian
crises, etc.
