MOTTO: "Encourage, Empower, and Flourish together"

"Including the Excluded in Society"​​​
Here at S&D we strongly operate under the conviction that the basic responsibility of every individual is to be a blessing to others (especially, widows and orphans). In short, God blesses us so we can be a blessing to others. We motivate one another in our day-to-day responsibilities. Seriously speaking, we're both strong and humble, as depicted by our inspirational birds--Eagle and Dove.

The choice is solely yours!

10 PRINCIPLES OF INSPIRATIONAL LIVING
Compiled from multiple sources by Elder Prof. Kwaku Saforadu Amankwaa-Pam (Uncle Dave)
PREAMBLE
You are the beloved child of the Lord God Almighty, created in His full image and put here on earth to obey and glorify your Maker in all that you do. Obedience is the key to the Lord’s blessings, miracles, and all forms of breakthrough in your life.
*Principle #1: Prayer & Trust in the Lord
Pray always (see 1 Thessalonians 5:17), and trust in the Lord with all your heart (see Proverbs 3:5-6).
*Principle #2: Respect
Treat all persons with respect, and never allow your challenges to negatively affect the relationships you build. Love all persons, but your trust must be in the Lord only.
*Principle #3: Overdependence
Do not depend too much on anyone under the sun, for even your own shadow leaves you when you are in the dark.
*Principle #4: Friendship
No matter how high you rise in life, never forget that you need someone, at least, to freely relate to and confide in. Be nice to people on your way up, because you will surely meet them on your way down. However, never search your happiness in someone else. You alone are responsible for your own happiness.
*Principle #5: Family
Consider your family—both nuclear and extended—as the best gift you have, and it must be nurtured and preserved in unity.
*Principle #6: Work Ethic
Cultivate an extremely healthy work ethic, working wonderfully hard, avoiding excuses, and not disappointing those who depend on you.
*Principle #7: Blessing
Always be a blessing to the needy in society (especially, orphans and widows), remembering that the Lord God Almighty blesses you, so you can be a blessing to others. Your greatest test is when you are able to bless someone else, while you are going through your own storm.
*Principle #8: Truth & Honesty
Never lie to any person. Always be truthful and honest, no matter the consequences. Remember that your steps are ordered by the Lord, and there is a purpose for everything that happens to you.
*Principle #9: Responsibility & Comparison
Learn to take responsibility for your actions and say, “I’m sorry,” if you must. Never compare your life to someone else’s life, for everyone is fearfully and wonderfully made (see Psalm 139:14), unique, and has been put on their own journey.
*Principle #10: Patience & Waiting
Every situation or condition is temporary, so wait patiently for things to happen, and do not rush anything in your life. Remember what seem to you as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise, for the Lord has made everything beautiful in its time (see Ecclesiastes 3:11).
Move on with all your strength, and may the Lord bless you!

NEVER EVER!

Never cheat any person!
