Greetings!
In the
book Walking with the Poor by Bryant Myers, poverty is defined as relationships
that do not work; relationships that isolate, abandon, or devalue. Transformation is about
restoring broken relationships.
Transformation
seeks to see individuals transformed in their identity and vocation, helping
them realize that they are made in God's image and that they have gifts to
contribute to society.
Our goal in Neighborhood Transformation is to see individuals and families transformed. This in turn will lead to
transformation of their neighborhoods, from the
inside out.
But
how does transformation come about? And how can we measure
transformation? We invite you to take part with us in exploring those
questions.

Identifying Transformation Survey
|
Greetings!
The Transformation Working Group, made up of participants from four
different meetings (CCIH, GHC, TD and AERDO), is studying the ways in
which transformation has been put into practice and measured. In
addition to a review of published literature, we are interested in
knowing how development organizations measure transformation at the
individual and community levels.
So we are inviting you to take a survey of your experience with transformation. Your input on the survey will be
extremely helpful. If you are not directly involved with these kinds of
projects, and know of someone else in your organization who would have
experience in transformation initiatives, please kindly pass this
survey onto them via email if possible. If you agree to participate,
please complete the survey questions by clicking on Identifying Transformation survey. We will send you a copy of
the results for your responses Thanks in advance for your time and
input! |
