"A national moral witness for childrenreinforces the scriptural call to act on behalf of our most vulnerable children and sends astrong signal that we've got to take action now."In response to Ms. Edelman's challenge, we invite you to join us Thursday, October 15, in ahalf day program which personalizes the reality of growing up in our world today.Being a teenager is far riskier today than it was when most of us grew up. Too many of ouryoung people are growing up poor and unhealthy in our cities, at risk of drug or alcoholdependency, or of becoming pregnant long before they are ready to become parents.The program, which is pan of a national effort designed by the Children's Defense Fund, wiilprovide you with up to date information about teen pregnancy and parenting, with particularattention to the role of poverty and the extreme pressures of life in our cities. We will dispelthe myth that "nothing works" by visiting programs that are working, despite financial andother constraints. You will talk with the experts and hear from the teens themselves abouttheir lives. You wiII explore with others specific ways in which you and your congregationscan make a difference in the lives of these young people.The half day program will be held Thursday, October 15, from 8:00 until 1:30. Lunch willbe served. We will meet at the Watts Health Foundation, 10300 South Compton Avenue(comer of 103rd), Los Angeles. From The Health Foundation you will be taken by vans tosee three additional programs that serve teens: Jordan High School's School Based Clinicand Child Care Programs, Parent of Watts, and Riley Junior High School's Pregnant MinorProgram.n 10 3rt! 5t rL't'1 Prllnll!n.llk 5uill' B·:; 5.1111.1 \ h,"i,.l.
