MISSION STATEMENT

The Akbar Pray Foundation For Change (APFC) is a not for profit grassroots organization, dedicated to redirecting the

lives of our urban at risk youth. It has been and remains our organizations mantra that " we are the solution to our own

problems." It is our core belief that there are those within our communities, if so engaged, who can help turn the tide of

crime, delinquency and recidivism which grips the lives of so many our inner city youth.Operating from the premise that to effectively attack or address any problem you must start at its root, we have begun aprogram in some of our citys schools and group homes, where we supply speakers, mentors, CDs and written material

from the organizations founder, which cuts to the heart of the problem experienced by many of these youths. Some timesworking with former gang members, inner city icons and others that have what is referred to as street cred, we have been

able to achieve remarkable results.

Expanding on our mission, we continuously recruit individuals from various work disciplines to aid in educating youngmen and woman with marketable skills.To those ends we have engaged people both inside and outside our community to come to our classes and or workshops to

share and discuss the ups and downs, ins and outs of a wide range of work disciplines and careers. Never favoring one

career path over any other, we have invited professors, urban fiction writers, successful members of the hip hop industry,general construction contractors and a Superior Court Judge to these open discussions and Socratic Circle seminars.

Again, it is our core belief that "we are the solution, to our own problems." In closing. We invite your participation in thisnoble undertaking.

IF NOT YOU, THEN WHO?

IF NOT NOW, THEN WHEN?

Know Your Rights:

What To Do If You're

Stopped By

Police, Immigration Agents or the FBIWe rely on the police to keep us safe and treat us all fairly, regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin orreligion. This card provides tips for interacting with police and understanding your rights.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU'RE STOPPED BY POLICE, IMMIGRATION

AGENTS OR THE FBI

IF YOU ARE CONTACTED BY THE FBI

If an FBI agent comes to your home or

workplace, you do not have to answer any

questions. Tell the agent you want to speakto a lawyer first.

If you are asked to meet with FBI agents

for an interview, you have the right to sayyou do not want to be interviewed. If you

agree to an interview, have a lawyer

present. You do not have to answer any

questions you feel uncomfortable

answering, and can say that you will only

answer questions on a specific topic.

IF YOU ARE STOPPED IN YOUR CAR

#233$4'*+ 567 89":;


21/40

1H

IF YOU ARE QUESTIONED ABOUT

YOUR IMMIGRATION STATUS

You have the right to remain silent and donot have to discuss your immigration or

citizenship status with police, immigration

agents or any other officials. You do nothave to answer questions about where youwere born, whether you are a U.S. citizen, or

how you entered the country. (Separate rulesapply at international borders and airports,and for individuals on certain nonimmigrantvisas, including tourists and business

travelers.)

If you are not a U.S. citizen and animmigration agent requests your

immigration papers, you must show them ifyou have them with you. If you are over 18,carry your immigration documents with you

at all times. If you do not have immigration

papers, say you want to remain silent.

Do not lie about your citizenship status orprovide fake documents.

IF THE POLICE OR IMMIGRATION

AGENTS COME TO YOUR HOME

If the police or immigration agents come to

your home, you do not have to let them inunless they have certain kinds of warrants.Ask the officer to slip the warrant under the

door or hold it up to the window so you can

inspect it. A search warrant allows police toenter the address listed on the warrant, but

officers can only search the areas and for the

items listed. An arrest warrant allows policeto enter the home of the person listed on thewarrant if they believe the person is inside.

A warrant of removal/deportation (ICEwarrant) does not allow officers to enter ahome without consent.

Even if officers have a warrant, you have the

right to remain silent. If you choose to speak

to the officers, step outside and close thedoor.

You have the right to a lawyer, but thegovernment does not have to provide one for

you. If you do not have a lawyer, ask for alist of free or low-cost legal services.

You have the right to contact your consulate or have an officerinform the consulate of your arrest.

Tell the ICE agent you wish to remain silent. Do not discuss your

immigration status with anyone but your lawyer.Do not sign anything, such as a voluntary departure or stipulatedremoval, without talking to a lawyer. If you sign, you may be giving

up your opportunity to try to stay in the U.S.

Remember your immigration number ("A" number) and give it toyour family. It will help family members locate you.Keep a copy of your immigration documents with someone you trust.

Knowledge in the wrong hands begets turmoil's existence

Productivity is depicted by an educated drive,

Education is critical; for success, it's pivotal,

Being un-informed equates to financial intervals.

Why stagnate yourself when you too can have wealth?

Does not success aids one's longevity regarding health?

Children are important. They have a rolein the universe that is often overlooked

by those of us who are not parents.

While some of us are engaging in what

we think are loftier endeavors, children

are clamoring for attention, often in

negative ways. Perhaps rather than

acting like self-involved overgrown

children ourselves, ignoring their cries

for attention, we should embrace and

engage them in mutually enriching acts

of humanity.

For a long time, I was all consumed by

my own demons, battling depression, in

denial and worst of all, trying to keep all

of it under wraps by isolating myself

while I tried to figure out on my own

what to do, not even able to see the

resources that were all around me.

Fortunately, what was lost on me was not

lost on others, and I was able to find a

niche where I was not only accepted, but

valued and needed, ironically, in a house

full of children. It was there, through the

eyes of children that I came to see my

own worth.

Continuing on my lifes journey, Ive

come across others who have also found

that maneuvering twist turns of lifes

challenges require support and guidance.

Currently my most fulfilling role has

been in the role of mentor to twenty kids

in a big brother program, children who

other found too old, too damaged and too

complicated to take on. Like me, theyve

been trying to go it alone until now. I

may not be the one to throw a ball or take

a drive to the beach with, but having

been there, I can at least provide an ear to

listen and a helping hand.

I am grateful to these kids who, I find I

need as much as they need me. I have

become more understanding; I have

learned to see through the anger and

hatred than fuels depression and

sadness; to use compassion and caring

to open dialogs, which have become

mutually beneficial tools for refining

goals and purposes for all of

usindividually and collectively.

Children want what we all wantwhat

we all need, unconditional love and

attention, validation that our lives are

worth living.

I never thought that I would enjoy

spending so much time with these

children, dedicating my time and energy

to giving back by teaching them how

not to judge, how not to feel like they

are alone and most of all recognizing

that they are important because they

are. I am very happy with the outcome

for my children and for knowing that I

am playing a valuable role in their lives.

http://www.bbbs.org/site/c.9iILI3NGKh

You have to be grateful to existence that it has

chosen you to be a passage for a few beautiful

children. But you are not to interfere in their growth,in their potential. You are not to impose yourself

upon them. They are not going to live in the same

times, they are not going to face the same problems. They willbe part of another world. Dont prepare them for this world, this

society, this time, because then you will be creating troubles for

them. They will find themselves unfit, unqualified.

Law #1

You don't need money. Money needs you.

The overwhelming majority of people believe they need

money. However nothing could be further from the truth.Money NEEDS YOU! Money without ideas is useless. It is

worth no more then the paper on which it is printed. The fact

that money runs to the man who takes an idea and develops it is

enough proof that money needs you and not the other way

around. That is the key: the specific development of an idea.

Rich and powerful people never worry about lack of money

because they possess a developed idea and are therefore seen asattractive by money. Money comes running to them. It is no

different than the method women use to make themselvesattractive to the men of their choice. A woman who wants to

attract the attention of a man may get her hair and nails done;

buy a new dress; get a facial; wear perfume, etc. Once a womanhas properly prepared herself, her man will come running to her

with no further effort on her part. The problem and the reason

people remain broke is they have never properly prepared

themselves (by developing and idea) to become attractive to

money. Most people have never taken an idea, grasped it, and

thoroughly developed it. Therefore money is not attracted to

them. Remember, money needs you! When you possess this

attitude towards money and properly prepare yourself for it'sarrival, you will have what you desire.

Law#2

If you don't know money, NO money

This is called money consciousness. The only reason a

healthy, free man would choose to spend the majority of his

life working for pittance of a salary at a company, is that he

does not know how he can do better. When I say know I

mean he has never been exposed to great riches in a way that

would not allow him to settle for anything less. The only way

to know money is to consistently see money. If you cannot

physically see money or the evidence of it in your present

environment, then you must learn to visualize money (see itwith your minds eye) and the evidence of it. However most

people only know what is immediately presented to them at themoment. They are never truly conscious of the feeling of being

exceedingly rich. As a result, they remain content to receive

what they have always received while unaware of what is

possible.

Stay tuned for part 2, which will consist of Laws 3,4,and 5.

Remember, the only thing that separates the rich from the poor

is knowledge.

Getting Billions for Working Less: A

big reason to get angry: Our country's

wealth grew from $64 trillionto $80

trillion(a 25 percent increase!) in twoyears, reflecting the unprecedented surge

in America's productivity and wealth over

the past few years. But there was little if

any new innovation or job creationby

these big takers over the past two years.The simple fact that they were already

incomprehensibly rich allowed them to

sit back and collect more and more and

more. Mainstream Media:

Incompetent or In Bed with Business:

And thus a final reason to be incensed

about inequality: The fact that the regularmedia doesn't properly inform the public

about all this. That should be their job, toreport on issues that have a great impact

on our lives, instead of hushing up the

perversity of redistributed nationalwealth. But apparently it's good business

for the super-rich media owners to keep

their viewers harmlessly underestimating

By Matt O'Brien

Source: Data from Richard Reeves andIsabel Sawhill

America is the land of opportunity, just

for some more than others.

That's because, in large part, inequality

starts in the crib. Rich parents can

afford to spend more time and moneyon their kids, and that gap has only

grown the past few decades. Indeed,

economists Greg Duncan and Richard

Murnanecalculate that, between 1972and 2006, high-income parents

increased their spending on"enrichment activities" for their

children by 151 percent in inflation-

adjusted terms, compared to 57 percent

for low-income parents.

But, of course, it's not just a matter of

dollars and cents. It's also a matter of

letters and words. Affluent parents talk

to their kids three more hours a weekon average than poor parents, which is

critical during a child's formative earlyyears. That's why, as Stanfordprofessor Sean Reardonexplains, "rich

students are increasingly entering

kindergarten much better prepared to

succeed in school than middle-class

students," and they're staying that way.

It's an educational arms race that's

leaving many kids far, far behind.

It's depressing, but not nearly so much

as this:

Even poor kids who do everything

right don't do much better than richkids who do everything wrong.Advantages and disadvantages, in

other words, tend to perpetuate

themselves. You can see that in the

above chart, based on a new

paper from Richard Reeves and IsabelSawhill, presented at the Federal

Reserve Bank of Boston's annual

conference, which is underway.

Specifically, rich high school dropouts

remain in the top about as much as poor

college grads stay stuck in the bottom

14 versus 16 percent, respectively. Notonly that, but these low-income strivers

are just as likely to end up in the bottom as

these wealthy ne'er-do-wells. Some

meritocracy.

What's going on? Well, it's all about glass

floors and glass ceilings. Rich kids who

can go work for the family business

and, in Canada at least, 70 percent of thesons of the top 1 percentdo just that or

inherit the family estate don't need a high

school diploma to get ahead. It's an

extreme example of what economists call"opportunity hoarding." That includes

everything from legacy college admissions

to unpaid internships that let affluent

parents rig the game a little more in their

children's favor.

But even if they didn't, low-income kids

would still have a hard time getting

ahead. That's, in part, because they're

targets for diploma mills that load them

up with debt, but not a lot of prospects.And even if they do get a good degree, at

least when it comes to black families,

they're more likely to still live in

impoverished neighborhoodsthat keep

them disconnected from opportunities.

It's not quite a heads-I-win, tails-you-lose

game where rich kids get better

educations, yet still get ahead even ifthey don'tbut it's close enough. And if

it keeps up, the American Dream will be

just that.

My Neighborhood

In my neighborhood you hear nothing but the sound of needles

sucking, guns busting & drug dealers clutching.....

You hear my principal saying stop the violence, s

top the shooting then you get a phone call saying brah they just

killed your cousin,

as you sit there to take it all in you catch a feeling like they just

killed your best friend.....

then you think to your self time to make this flip,

time to bring this money in,

as you live in your life of sin like it's a brand new trend ......

as I sit back & think about my neighborhood

I think if we change the term neighborhood our youth would

think less of the hood & more about the neighbors in it ...

then they just might see no more that die,

hear no more that cry

& no more of hearing black mothers sigh....
