Alpha House Creed

This is a house that is also a home. It provides a refuge for the neglected and charts a course for the misguided. It is operated on the premise that to have a friend is to be one. It employs the theory that a life without understanding and love is meaningless. Here it is taught to all who dwell within that without confidence in their ability and moral fiber, their mental capacity will never reach a means of communication and understanding. It is taught here that each individual was created to develop, co-operate, live, and grow together. It is hoped that all who inhabit this home will soon come to know that a mutual love and understanding of each other is the answer to most problems encountered, and to discuss the views of each with an open mind and with calmness and sincerity can result in an unselfish method of thinking. This home is tangible evidence of the combined efforts of those who have proven that although you can give without caring, you cannot care without giving.
