Abstract

Thesis of the project: how to help families through being present in the community on a daily basis meeting daily needs. The study was done through qualitative means. Research was accomplished through interviews and community studies. The conclusion of the study was that the need for a safe place that offered help to students after school until the parents or caregivers returned home from the work place--a place that would teach character, tutor, mentor and be a positive place to hang out with their friends. The project gave a positive influence for the community as it opened its doors as a game room and tutoring/mentoring center for students after school. The involvement with parents and the community was also a positive outcome. Relationships were developed and lives changed by spending time and helping in ways that meet the needs of those involved. The study and implication of the BLOC House revealed to the author that communities are crying for someone to spend time with their families and help them live their everyday lives in a way that makes a difference and has purpose. This BLOC House is one avenue that makes that possible as a living gospel of Jesus Christ our Lord.
