Jack and Jill Organization Event: Rites of Passage

Andrews Photography has been working now on this Event for the last three years. We have noticed a trend in the event. The amount of time invested in each Initiate. Time is now the most expensive commodity we have. Rites of passage has put i the time with each one of these young men. Jack and Jill is a essential catalyst for the future. Without this program I think many young men would be left behind.

Many quotes come to mind to back up the ideal of such programs. "It takes a village to raise a child". If so then let us pray for more such villages as the Jack and Jill Rites of Passage. These 20+ young men have and forever will feel the reassurance that someone took the time to care for them. They will think back when things get tough, that they have some one to call besides there family. Someone who took the time to set them on a path to live beyond what they could hope for. Ceremonies of becoming a adult of leaving behind the things of your childhood and taking the reins of adulthood are needed.

Every Society has "Rites of Passage", Spanish customs for a young girl are referred to as a "Quincetta". When she is considered old enough to take up the commandments and be an adult. The Jewish Community has a similar ceremony the Bar Mitzvah. I have been to many such ceremonies and have noticed a definite change in each individual partaking in the process and ceremony. The Rites of Passage is needed in every community to help these young men weather the storm of being a man.

Rites of passage has done a fantastic job of being flexible and changing with the times. They strive to be better each year and should be commended for their drive and conviction. I am sure they put in many more hours then needed. They proceed out of love to these young gentle men to help guild them down there path.

The grand ceremony the impending event, without this there would be no drive, no catalyst for these initiates to do better. Without the mentors there would be no one guide to spur them on. I hear that a few of these young men do not have fathers or male role models. What a gift to them then to have someone to look up to. If the program can elevate one individual save one person from going down a path he could have otherwise side stepped. Then it is a success for all.

I am Rod Andrew Wilson and I believe in The Rites Of Passage

Andrews Photography hits the jackpot. Glady and Frank were kind enough to invite us into there home to snap a few family portraits of them interacting with there pets. The dogs were on there best behavior or was it just plain good parenting. We walked through what the family did on a day to day basis. Just to see how they all interacted with each other. We all had so much fun with were is the treat find the treat. The dogs went crazy trying to find the milk bone. Sunshine was the winner, good girl. Just for fun everyone got one to say thanks for playing. You can see the whole shoot here password is Dogsbc. So many good ones to look at here is just a few of the dog family portrait session.
