Initial Post Module 3

The quote that I have is:  "It takes a village to raise a child" (unknown origin, popularized by book by Hillary Clinton).

I have always liked this quote I feel that it is true.  I think that we are all working together or should be to bring children to their fullest potential. 
What brings excitement to me about my advocacy action plan is the fact that others are aware of my concern and are also seeing the same thing.  Knowing this I know that I just have to speak with the right target audience in order to be heard and get others on board with the need.  What I have found so far to be a challenge is the fact that not everyone that I have been talking with truly understands the problem and what steps now need to take place.  I am working on trying to get a pilot program that has been successful in the beginning steps to bring in another pilot program down to a lower age group of children in order to reach children with developmental needs at the earliest age possible. 
I think that the most effective help will be to make sure I locate the right target group to present my concern and issue to.  I need to focus on those who are now working with the younger children.  Those that now are in the capacity to voice my concern to the grant writers and then to the funders.
