Each child is sponsored by someone here in the States. The program was started by MaryAnn McCoy from Danville Pres. <BR/>http://www.children-of-grace.org/Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01988382582474998043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194194337919842110.post-72302401577071316992008-05-20T09:08:00.000-07:002008-05-20T09:08:00.000-07:00What you describe is the case in a great many coun...What you describe is the case in a great many countries. And the plight of the teachers, well, that is nothing of a surprise. But it does bring up a bit of ire that so many buzzwords are used in our own political system JUST to garner votes--all things having to do with children, their health and their education--but then nothing real is EVER done once these plastic politicians are elected. (This is across the board, you understand; not just Republicans, but all the liberals, who are so glib about entitlements, as well. Might as well have a single party system. Just check the records of all these politicos, and they will tell you a tale of disgrace. In the state of California, for example, $130 millions were given toward stem cell research, but money is being cut from the public school system. Does that make sense? Pay the private corporate interests and starve the pubic programs.) Mothers and their children everywhere are left to fend for themselves. I have met couples from Indonesia that work on cruise ships for years at a time, while the grandparents raise the children at home. Free market free for all big money outfits, and we little people are all enslaved. Let us pray and act so that the MDGs can make positive impact in these areas.qoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06687807550095367481noreply@blogger.com
