But as they started talking to more of their neighbors they realized the neighborhood had greater needs than just cleanliness. The first step Sacred took towards development was an ESL class.

During Christmas The Other Way runs a Christmas Store which is aimed at restoring dignity to Christmas.  Rather than giving away gifts people work in the store to build up credit, and then shop for gifts with the credit they have earned.  Dignity comes with involvement.
