In our community, we say: 'The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth.' Harm, whether personal or systemic, is a cry for connection, respect, and justice. When someone hurts us, it shakes our foundation—but we remember: 'No matter how long the night, the day is sure to come.'

We do not stay silent in the face of harm, but neither do we allow it to harden our hearts. We believe in truth-telling, in accountability, and in the power of healing through unity. As the ancestors taught: 'If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.' So we walk this path together, transforming pain into purpose, and wounds into wisdom.

At SHAPE, healing is not just personal—it is collective. And we affirm: 'Rain does not fall on one roof alone.' We all have a role to play in restoring peace, dignity, and strength to our community.

At SHAPE, we believe in the power of healing through truth, justice, and community. When someone causes harm—whether personal or structural—it disrupts the spirit and the trust that binds us. We acknowledge the pain, but we do not allow it to define us. Instead, we ground ourselves in our heritage of resilience. Healing begins with honesty, accountability, love, forgiveness, and collective care. We lift one another as we move forward—not forgetting the wound, but transforming it into wisdom and strength. 

Despite this unfortunate event, the spirit of SHAPE's mission will persist. This temporary challenge opens the door to fresh possibilities, paving the way for a brighter, more innovative future. We invite you to join our official restoration campaign, “Together Building Back Better”.
