The mission of The Harris Family Vision Foundation Inc., is to encourage quality values through personal accountability and by raising the level of expectations of performance of all individuals.

Our goal is to motivate inner city and rural children to develop their talent and arouse the awareness of education, so they can empower themselves and encourage others, to prepare for the future and help developed their communities. Introduce to them Christian values and the Holy Scriptures so they can be good examples to others.

The Foundation mentor children focusing on four principles for growth: Discipline, Determination, Willingness, and Self-esteem. Special attention are given to children with disabilities.

We donate back to school supplies, uniforms, and sports equipment to children. In addition health fairs are held. Medical equipment and materials needed for the health screenings are donated to clinics.

The Foundation wants to remind individuals they are accountable and empowered with the ability to take responsibility for their lives and to set values that sees them through their failures and capitalizes on their successes. An individual who takes responsibility for his or her actions will take care of self, family, community and country.

This foundation was inspired by Kimberly Harris at age nine, and her sister Nekhidia Harris age eleven. The inspiration came from years of outreach work done by their parents.

“A little child shall lead the way... so run with the vision without delay.”

Kimberly Harris attended Little Paradise Inc. School in Brooklyn N.Y at age 15 months; she was already displaying a great vocabulary, and a strong mind of her own. She showed much interest in Drama and took leading roles. In July 2003 she graduated as the valedictorian. At her graduation, five years old Kimberly captured the audience when she delivered the valedictory address. She was invited the following year to be the guest speaker for the 2004 graduation. Kimberly was the first child/student to be a guest speaker at that school.

Kimberly attended the Ebenezer Preparatory School, an elementary school in Brooklyn, N.Y. In her first year she was the spelling bee champion for her age group, and was also voted best all rounded student in 2007. She left as an honor roll student with an "A" average.

She now attends The Bay Academy For The Arts And Sciences where she specializes in Forensic Science and continues as an "A" student. In the summer of 2006, she participated in the National Young Scholars Program (NYSP) at Union College in Schenectady, New York completing a course in Crime Scene Investigation (CSI).
