-2-In Boston, MRP is working with the Junior League of Boston, the Child WelfareLeague of America. the United Church of Christ City Mission Society, Project Bread, theHealthyStart coalition of the Massachusetts Advocacy Center, and the Failure to Thrive clinicat Boston City Hospital."Many Children do not thrive and grow normally because proper nutrition is notaffordable or not well understood by their families," Baritz said. ''These children develophealth problems. school problems, and social relations problems that may follow them alltheir lives. Experience shows that while many people read about the serious difficulties facedby poor children and families, it is not until they can see for themselves the challenges facingparticular children and families that they become motivated to work for change."The program's goals include helping community leaders make the connnectionsbetween the children they see suffering and local, state, and federal budget priorities andpolicies.Lovola Burgess. MRP's new national president. has adopted "IntergenerationalAction" as the theme for her tenure."As a nation. we must step back and decide what our priorities are and which we arewilling to pay for," Burgess said in her recent inaugural address. "Clearly, America has showncompassion to assist older people in need. That same vision must be applied to today'schildren and the American family."-3D-150
