The more we understand each other, the less we hurt each other We live in an increasingly interdependent world, ever closer to our neighbors and much more aware of the diversity that exists among us. We believe there is widespread, profound illiteracy about our world religions which has contributed to growing prejudice, antagonism, hatred and violence. We believe it is possible to overcome this illiteracy and promote religious understanding and acceptance of our different beliefs and practices and respect for one another, as well as appreciation for the values of compassion, caring, and love that we have in common. We believe this can be done through education, dialogue, and advocacy, including nonsectarian teaching about the world's religions in our public schools.

From prevention to crisis…The Village does whatever it takes to help children and families transform their lives, and to ensure that every child believes in tomorrow. From the beginning, the focus has been on caring for children whose parents can’t provide for them or who face significant challenges. Today, we have evolved into one of the most respected child and family serving organizations in Greater Hartford, helping vulnerable children and families at all levels of need….from children who have severe emotional or mental health problems to those who need support and guidance to stay on a successful path. Sometimes children stay with us for short periods – during the most difficult times of their lives, and when they need to be apart from their parents. Some are placed with foster and adoptive parents, who we recruit and support. Others we help through counseling, to help them heal and increase their coping skills. And because it’s so much better to help families before problems occur – and in their own community – we have programs in schools to help children succeed and to support their parents, including helping them be financially stable. We even help moms before they give birth, and then afterward to bond with their baby. Our preschool program helps children develop in all ways – socially, emotionally and be prepared to enter school ready to learn. The work we do enables children to become successful, productive, healthy adults. And it builds strong communities. That’s good for everyone – in every community. On our Facebook page, we highlight our clients' successes, give shout outs to our generous donors, and share our opinions and ideas for creating better ways to help vulnerable children and families.

The Hartford Artisans Weaving Center is a rebirth of the former Hartford Artisans Center, which was located at Connecticut Institute for the Blind at Oak Hill. The program was established in 1995 by Rebecca Earl, Ph.D. and Ed Johnetta Miller, to meet the economic and social needs of people with disabilities, primarily blindness, and those who are elderly. Elderly and visually-impaired people come to the Weaving Center to learn a new skill, get out of the house, or earn some extra income. What they find when they get here is far more. First, they gain self-esteem and a sense of accomplishment from mastering the complex craft of weaving. Second, they escape the isolation common to people in their circumstances; they become valuable members of a community of artisans where they are supported artistically and spiritually. Third, they produce beautiful handwoven scarves, throws, wall hangings, and other items that are sold to the general public.
