      <p class="current-intro">
        Casa de SAM is taking shape one careful step at a time. Here is where
        the project stands today and what is beginning to move forward.

      <p>
        Casa de SAM is still a developing vision for a lifelong residential
        community in Paraguay. We are documenting the model, researching the
        legal and practical work it will require, and building the tools and
        relationships that can help us test the vision responsibly.

        <p class="current-label">Nonprofit status</p>
        <h2>Not registered yet</h2>
        <p>
          Casa de SAM is not yet a registered nonprofit and is not accepting
          donations. Forming the organization well matters more than creating
          the appearance that we are farther along than we are.
        </p>
        <p>
          This page will be updated when that status changes, along with any
          practical information readers need to verify it.

        <h2><em>The ROI of Independence</em></h2>
        <p>
          I wrote this workbook for families trying to decide where limited
          time, money, energy, and teaching effort are most likely to improve a
          disabled person's future life.
        </p>
        <p>
          It is not an answer key. It is a way to count the full cost of a goal,
          define the return more honestly, and remember that Sam is not your child.

        <h2>Future board members</h2>
        <p>
          We are beginning to look for thoughtful people who may be willing to
          help shape Casa de SAM's governance. The right board will need more
          than enthusiasm. It will need judgment, follow-through, humility, and
          a willingness to challenge my assumptions when the evidence or the
          people affected point somewhere else.
        </p>
        <p>
          A dedicated board page with the role, expectations, and a way to
          express interest is in development.

        <p class="current-label">What has not changed</p>
        <h2>The long view</h2>
        <p>
          The planned opening remains March 16, 2035. The aim remains a real
          home for adults with lifelong support needs, built around dignity,
          safety, relationships, choice, calm, and joy.
        </p>
        <p>
          The plan is allowed to change. The people who may one day live there
          matter more than my attachment to any particular version of it.
