The Georgia Single Parent Resolution and Petition

4/4/2016

The first step was unanimously approved...

The first step in the process of making ‘March 21st’ an official holiday in honor of single parents was approved by the Georgia General Assembly.

Georgia state representative, Valencia Stovall along with others submitted a resolution (GA HR 1795) to the Georgia General Assembly House of Representative on March 16, 2016 and it was unanimously approved.

However, there is still more work ahead. Therefore, we need your help with our petition in the next step.

The next step...

The next step is to present the resolution along with the single parent petition to the Georgia State Governor to get GA HR 1795 approved as a state proclamation. If the governor approves it, then March 21st will become an official ‘Single Parent Day’ holiday in the state of Georgia.

Please join with us and sign the ‘Single Parent Day Petition’. Click here to sign.

In conclusion, we hope that other states will follow suit. We would like to see this day celebrated across the nation.

Parents Day In Aruba Event, July 26th, 2015

Parents' Day is held on the fourth Sunday of every July in the United States.

In essence, this day became an official day for "recognizing, uplifting, and supporting the role of parents in the rearing of children" back in 1994 when President Bill Clinton signed a Congressional Resolution into law.

Therefore, this year on Sunday Afternoon July 26, 2015, the South Georgia Nonprofit Collaboration Network (SGNCN) Family Engagement/Parenting Coalition is hosting a “Parents Day in Aruba” event for Parents.

Please come celebrate with us for an exciting, fun afternoon of Caribbean Music, games, free giveaways and entertainment in support of the “Single Parents Day” Petition.

Why Should We Acknowledge and Honor Single Parents?

5/8/2015

Most of us can agree that a thriving two parent home is best for raising healthy and well adjusted children that are likely to grow up to be productive world citizen.

However, according to statistics about twenty-eight percent of households in our nation are single parent homes. It doesn't matter if planned or unplanned single parent home, the result ends with a responsibility of raising and nurturing a precious human life.

Unfortunately, some choose not to or are not able to take on the responsibility. According to United States Children Bureau between the years of 2003 and 2011 there were about four to five hundred thousand children left in foster care on the last day of each year. Georgia currently has approximate nine thousand seven hundred children in foster care.

Conversely, there are those single parents who have chosen to take on the responsibility of raising and nurturing their children. Some with little or no assistance, the cost of child care, food, housing, utilities, medical care and transportation can be overwhelming. It is especially challenging if the parent's income is slightly over the minimum wage requirement for assistance.

Despite, the hardship and challenges of being a single parent many are succeeding and have managed to succeed in raising healthy and well adjusted children.

Therefore, we should acknowledge and honor the effort that they have put forth in raising children who will be our next generation of leaders, doctors, lawyers, teachers, pastors, parents and so many more that will continue to help build a better society.

Although, former President Ronald Reagan has already proclaimed March 21st as “National Single Parent Day” in Proclamation 5166, it is up to each state to designate March 21st as their official “Single Parent Day.”

Finally, one day to highlight, acknowledge and honor single parents on a job well worth the effort, March 21st. Let’s make it official in Georgia. Sign our petition.
