I believe that we are all, individually positioned whether geographically, racially, by gender, affordability (rich or poor) etcetera for one universal GOOD reason. By opening a platform to share our unique life stories, we can be able to help one another. Listening to individual’s stories on earth could be impractical and yet we need stories to relate to in order make life decisions and take safe direction. But a small group of people can make it feasible to work out the best solid ideas on how to move forward by sharing among themselves their (group members) life stories and derive solutions. Each group can than have one of their members representing their ideas to form a building block with ideas from other groups with the intension of moving the society forward. In a short space of time a solid universal ideas can be formulated. If the group members are comfortable and agreeing with each other, there will be a group solidarity and sustenance. Group solidarity is the result of sharing common bonds and Goals and all that starts with the individual Family. Parents need to carefully represent their family ideas and give feedback on them.
In order to build a bright future we need to act now. We have all resources and adequately diverse which allows us to carefully view one topic at all the angles and harmoniously derive the best possible solution for all. We can derive the best universal possible solutions in a very short space of time. This is highly possible once all the structures are in place.
Due to the fact that some people know better than the others on the specific field of study, “diffusion” of information by the best possible means in order to benefit everyone in the family, community, nation and the world needs to be considered.
I was born and grownup in the Township. Townships form link between poor rural and rich urban communities. I managed to use available resources in the township to study and professionally work for a world-class company. I worked with the privileged people from urban and the disadvantaged worker from the rural community. I found myself in the middle of the two personas; from that experience I confidently understand both personalities and their difference in opportunities accessible to them.
Townships are the places of focus if we want to lift up the poorest without forcefully altering the revenues of the rich people. A rapid flow of helpful information is the key. Internet use is ideal for everyone but it is mostly used by rich people. Joel Osteens teachings are for everyone but unfortunately only the rich people can comprehend them due to language barrier that is caused by education system imbalances. As a result there is still a huge wall in the form of information difference between the rich and poor.
The situation would have been better or faster recovering if alcohol use was not part of the solution to others. Rich people consider alcohol use as means of relaxing after a long day of large corporate world engagement and that is true for most of them. In the townships, alcohol consumption is less responsibly managed which results in measure negative consequences. Negative impacts such as job losses, lack of family support, injuries through fights and fatal activities such as driving are apparently related to alcohol. In the rural communities alcohol is mostly taken in order to depress frustrations and in order to stimulate risky, uncalculated or criminal engagement.

The use of alcohol under any circumstances is directly affecting children and creates a societal vicious cycle of poverty especially in rural and township areas.

The rural dwellers sell alcohol from their homes in order to financially support themselves. This selling pattern (shebeen or tavern) benefits only the owner and negatively affect consumers and their families. The children living in the house where alcohol is sold are the immediate victims of alcohol since they cannot concentrate on their school work at home and also susceptible to different kinds of abuse by drunken people constantly around them. Families headed by alcohol consumer are badly affected since drinkers spend their “little” money drinking. Proper eating habit is compromised by most of the rural drinkers as a result company’s (employers) work- force uptake from these areas is reduced on the bases of health and fitness.
The ideal starting point to reduce poverty should ensure that children are well taken care by all means. Children must have the best vision of the world they want to live in. Therefore careful and proper guidance is required at the earliest possible stage. By ignoring this, we are inviting the vicious cycle of poverty and misery. Children are like blank pages of a book that get imprinted on by what we as adults are allowing. I believe that the children could be less expensive in terms of maintenance if proper measures and careful guard are put in place at their very initial stages. By instilling more good information in children, this will make it easier for them to create good vision of themselves hence readily becoming responsible.
Children in the townships spend or should spend about 8hours of their day at crèches. Community participation can easily convert the current state of crèches into excellent institution for a child’s wellbeing. Children need healthy meals, study material, educational toys, media, and bath etcetera. This kind of institution will make it very easy for even struggling families in the community have a productive child and help the society and hence the nation. The few hours are remaining in a day that the child spends at home after crèche will hardly have harmfully significance for child development under any circumstances.
So in every township there are two opposing forces that need attention. There is alcohol abuse and child development on the other hand. Both issues are inversely related. Since there are related, there is a way of positively driving community’s development by using the two above issue as controlling variables.
A simple pilot/first station can demonstrates how all other townships and similar places (situated between rich and poor) can use the idea to heal exponentially the nations. Townships do have facilities needed for dwellers to develop; the only required ingredient is to instill focus into young minds. The focus on children will cut criminal activities by magnitude and create positive driving force moving forward.

The idea controls drinking habit, serves healthy food and ensure children proper growth.
