If I were to change anything that goes on in Alexandria, my best thoughts would be getting more government money so that there can be more activates to engage the women and children in the house and in the community. The money would be used for the after school programs so that we can get more supplies for the kids which includes more computers. Have a built in playground in the back so that the children can play and escape their troubles. Bring in more leadership workshop because it never hurts to try to help someone be a leader. From the time that I have spent there I have noticed that some of the children that live there, at night or even on the weekend they find themselves having a lone time. What I will like to change about that is actually have someone to come and distract them. I know that when I spoke to one of the teens that lives in Alexandria, she expressed to me that she feels so bored sometimes because everyone at the house is younger than her and she has no one to play with or at least spend quality time with her. I would love to make a difference in her life and also in the others by providing fun activities. Those fun activities can consist of: Pamper Yourself Day, Movie Night, Arts and Crafts, Cooking, Exercise Day, Video Game day, and many more. Alexandria a good place, but don’t get me wrong but there are so many good ideas that can be brought but just so little money.
