<h1>From Childhood to Independence: A Night at Longwood Gardens with Amigos de Jesús</h1>
In a country where poverty, limited educational opportunities and economic insecurity can leave young people with few choices for their futures, Amigos de Jesús is working to create another possibility: helping vulnerable children grow into educated, healthy and independent adults with the skills and opportunities to build their lives in Honduras.
On Thursday, October 15, 2026, Amigos de Jesús will bring that story to Longwood Gardens for Growing Together with Amigos, an evening celebrating the children and young adults of Amigos and inviting the greater Philadelphia community to become part of their journey.
Amigos de Jesús provides a safe and nurturing home for vulnerable children in Honduras, but its work does not end with providing a safe place to live. The organization walks alongside children from childhood into adulthood, providing education, healthcare, emotional support, faith formation, life skills and opportunities designed to prepare them for healthy, independent lives.
“Our goal isn't simply to care for a child today,” said Kelley Jackson, President and CEO of Amigos de Jesús. “We have to ask what success looks like when that child becomes an adult. Are they educated? Are they healthy? Do they have the skills and confidence to work, manage their lives and build a future within the realities of Honduras? That is the journey we are committed to.”
Guests attending Growing Together with Amigos are invited to enjoy Longwood Gardens throughout the day before gathering in the Fountain Room from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. for a cocktail reception, stories and updates from Honduras, and a private illuminated fountain show.
The evening is designed not only to raise critical funds for the mission, but also to introduce new people throughout the region to Amigos de Jesús and the many ways individuals, families, schools, churches and businesses can become involved.
Tickets are $200 per person and include untimed admission to Longwood Gardens for the day, the evening reception and private illuminated fountain show.

MALVERN, Pa. &mdash; The Transportation Management Association of Chester County is inviting residents who usually drive alone to test one different way to work during National TDM Week, September 14 through 18.Transportation Demand Management, commonly called TDM, brings together practical strategies that give travelers more choices and help the transportation network carry people more efficiently. Those strategies include carpooling and vanpooling, public transportation, biking and walking, flexible or compressed schedules, remote work, trip planning, commuter benefits, and clearer travel information.
&ldquo;This is not an argument against the car, and it is not a demand for a perfect commute,&rdquo; said P. Timothy Phelps, executive director of TMACC. &ldquo;We are asking people to look at one workday and ask whether that trip could happen differently. One thoughtful experiment can show a commuter what works and show employers and communities what still needs to improve.&rdquo;
The latest available U.S. Census Bureau estimate underscores the opportunity. In 2024, an estimated 195,010 Chester County workers age 16 and over drove alone to work, representing 67.8 percent of county workers. An estimated 59,166 worked from home, or 20.6 percent. The American Community Survey figures describe workers&rsquo; usual means of transportation to work; they are not daily vehicle counts.
TMACC encourages commuters to choose an option that fits their actual lives. A resident might share a ride with a colleague, check a public transportation route, bicycle or walk when a safe connection exists, shift the workday outside the busiest travel period, or work remotely when the job and employer permit it. Employees who already work remotely one day can ask whether they can have preferred parking when sharing a ride.
TDM also depends on institutions. Employers can offer commuter benefits, preferred carpool parking, secure bicycle storage, flexible schedules, and clear hybrid-work expectations. Municipalities, planners, and transportation providers can strengthen the sidewalks, trails, transit connections, information, and land-use patterns that turn an option into a reliable choice.
Throughout the week, TMACC will publish practical information for Chester County commuters and invite residents to share what would make a different trip possible. The campaign supports the 2026 TDM Week theme, &ldquo;The Power of Transportation Options.&rdquo;
&ldquo;The first question is not, &lsquo;Can I change every commute?&rsquo;&rdquo; Phelps said. &ldquo;It is, &lsquo;Which one trip could I try?&rsquo; Start there, pay attention to the experience, and keep what works.&rdquo;
About TMACC
The Transportation Management Association of Chester County advances equitable, safe, sustainable, and multimodal mobility through education, coordination, advocacy, and transportation services. TMACC works with employers, municipalities, agencies, institutions, and residents to improve access while reducing congestion and transportation-related air pollution.
