4 Message from Leon Muhammad, Chairman of the Board
I Accept the Challenge… The pathway to happiness is achieved when one has found their true purpose in life.  When one acknowledges; Why am I here? What must I do? and Why must I do this? I transfer onto others this same gift. The opportunity and capability to express one’s creative powers.  I have not always believed that in every human being lies the answer to life’s questions.  However, human beings have keys to unlock the universe and change the world one person at a time.  Within all of us lies a power to project; Love, Peace, and Happiness. Love, Peace, and Happiness have given me a passion to build baseball fields and parks - Fields of Dreams. "Dear Lord thank you for giving me the strength and conviction to complete the task you entrusted in me.  Thank you for guiding me straight and through, the many obstacles in my path, and for keeping me resolute when all around me seemed lost, thank you for your protection and for your many signs along the way, thank you for any good I may have done, I am so sorry about the bad, Thank your for the friends I made. please watch over them as you have watched over me. I go now at peace, knowing I have done right with the time you have given me on this earth, I am fighting the good fight and I will finish the race- I keep the FAITH." This is something I have to do, and I accept the Challenge to build a better future one field at a time, one park at a time, with one dream at a time.   I encourage you to help by embracing ADOBA Works Foundation to build a better future. Message from Leon Muhammad, Chairman of the Board
