The
purpose of this web site is to provide training in skills and methods to
community workers, so they may intervene as mobilisers or activists to
stimulate low income communities to become empowered. |

| If
you wish to pursue your own introductory study of sociology, on which the
Community Empowerment principles and methods are based, you are invited
to look at Sociology. |

Even
if you are not a registered student at the college, you may view the handouts
that I have posted there on open access. |

If you are seriously
studying the subject, you are invited to send questions to me. I
may answer them and/or may also invite my students to answer them.

| A
community is a sociological construct, and the science of sociology is
the source of the methods and skills of the community work here. |

You
may find some use in these notes, and can use them to supplement your reading

Serious students
