About
this issue…
This
issue kicks off with the first of two articles in our “People Making A
Difference” (PMD) series. Marti Forman describes how “lucky she was”
to go from a family where she was “food insecure” to CEO of an
emergency food pantry and kitchen.
Dr.
Stephen Bezruchka returns to grace our pages asking the question, “Why
are we leaving the children of the U.S.A behind?.” A very timely article
as this question is the subject of much attention by the media, Congress,
citizens and is a part of Michael Moore’s new film.
A
book came to the attention of Stephanie Kempf (author of the KIDS Teacher
Guide) that impressed her. We decided to publish our first book review and
if the response is favorable, she has agreed to locate and review other
books she feels are of interest.
Life
as Origami is the second of our PMD articles in this issue. Lois Barber
(Pg. 6) shows how life is similar to constructing an Origami. As you will
see, she is still hard at work constructing “new folds.”
Sister Barbara Lenninger rounds out this issue describing the work
of the dedicated folks at The Thorpe Family Residence as they provide
services to help mothers prepare for a living wage job, find an apartment
and stay off welfare.
Finally, this issue contains an insert by Carrie Kilman describing
an article appearing in the fall issue of Teaching Tolerance magazine.
KIDS is featured in the article. The article will appear in its entirety
on our web site in October.
