Listen to be Heard

Tuesday afternoon, as I sat watching a public forum at the Bernice A. Ray Elementary School in Hanover concerning an accusation of sexual harassment, I was confronted with a new challenge to my ideas of community. As an active volunteer working with children in the Upper Valley through several programs at the Tucker Foundation, I am continually re-evaluating the idea of community in my life and how this concept of community affects my presence and the kind of work I do.
