MAYOR HARRY LAROSILIEREANNOUCES TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS

RELOCATION TO PLANO, TX HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!

WE HONOR & PRAISEALL MOTHERS!

(PART 2)

Mayor of Plano Harry LaRosilier announced that Plano will be the new home of Toyota's U.S. headquarters, saysnegotiations with the company have been nonstop since February.

Plano Mayor Harry LaRosiliere said at a news conference Monday, "Obviously, something like this is years in themaking but over the last three months, we've been a major part of the conversation."

Toyota announced Monday it would move its U.S. headquarters North Texas. The new $300 million headquarterswill house approximately 4,000 Toyota jobs that are currently located in Torrance, CA (2,000 jobs at Toyota MotorSales); Erlanger, KY (1,000 jobs at Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc.); and someemployees from Toyota Motor North America in New York, NY.

A majority of these jobs will not be relocated until the new headquarters in Plano is complete in late 2016 or early2017.

Sally Bane, Plano's director of economic development, says when Toyota began to hone in on Texas, the city start-ed an aggressive marketing campaign, including hiring a private consultant to help convince Toyota to move to Plano.

Texas offered Toyota $40 million in incentives from the taxpayer-funded Texas Enterprise Fund.Plano Mayor Harry LaRosiliere helped establish the Plano Economic Development Fund in 2005 to attract and retain

business in the city. Plano has since been able to land huge corporate citizens such as FedEx, Pizza Hut, Capital One,J.C. Penney, USAA, and now Toyota.

Are you prepared to buryyour child? Your niece ornephew or a grandchild? Orattend the funeral of a teenwho was on dialysis? Arewe burying our children toosoon? Are heart attacksamong 30 and 40 year oldsnormal? What conse-quences will children/young adults face as theygain more and moreweight? Obesity and pooreating habits are a livingnightmare.

My day, any day of theweek, can take several turnswith detours attached. Suchwas the occasion recently.It started with an innocentphone call from an associateproducer about a video mat-ter. In the course of the con-versation which was in themiddle of the morning, wewere interrupted by a

phone call from her child.The child was having stom-ach pains and needed tocome home. The child wason medication, diabetes inthis case and there wereobvious side effects fromthe medication. Armed withthis information , some fol-low up, and meddling "intheir business", the stub-born question paramount inmy mind was what testing isdone on children for themeds they are taking. Theanswer is a short one. Theyare not 'well-tested' in chil-dren. The adult drugs thesekids take to battle their con-ditions are numerous, seri-ous from muscle weaknessto fatique - symptoms com-monly found in olderAmericans. This nightmarecombined with the nakedtruth is that for the first timeever, a generation of chil-dren may have a shorter lifeexpectancy at birth thantheir parents. These super-annuated kids have prema-ture aging, thick throats thatrestrict airways, dark velvetypatches on the neck thancan be a sign of health prob-lems, cholesterol buildupcausing dense artery wallsrestricting blood flow. Anyairway or blood restrictionsin the body automaticallyhinders the brain from prop-

erly functioning. Every day we hear or read

about corruption being anepidemic, an outburst ofmeasles as an epidemic,growing problem of pot-is-hot, global warning as thenumber one concern inAmerica today, an epidemicof identify theft, on and onand on. I personally think,as I have mentioned in thisarticle before, that poorhealth is the number oneproblem in America today.And to combat poor health,we have 'quick fixes' andprescriptions to fill. It is notnormal for children to takemedication, to have fatty liv-ers, suffer heart failure, tomature so early that puber-ty occurs around age eleven.

In the midst of a boomingeconomy, a runaway tech-nologically advanced world,the only way to combatpoor health is to apply somegood old fashioned commonsense without it being'breaking news' or a realityshow. Be a responsibleadult and change . . . youreating habits so you and theyoung around you can live.

My Day: An American Nightmare

Lamentations is composed of fivepoems expressing a prophet's greatgrief over Jerusalem's devastation.The thoughts are at times solemnand full of sadness; however, at othertimes, they radiate with unusualhope! It has been universally accept-ed that Jeremiah penned this funeraldirge sometime after the destructionof Jerusalem in 586 B.C. For manycenturies, Jerusalem stood as a onceproud city; symbolically, it stood asthe religious heart and soul of the

city. But, now the plight of a beauti-ful city has changed. Jerusalem liesin ruins. The beautiful temple hasbeen ransacked and its precious goldand holy vessels are as the spoils ofwar. The massive walls of the city liein a heap of rubble. Homes wereburned to the ground. The streetsare silent, for the people have beencarried off as slaves to Babylon byNebuchadnezzar in 586 B.C. Thefields that once produced abundantcrops are now overgrown withweeds. Like a widow left desolatewith no comforters, the city sat silent(Lamentation 1:1-2).

No one however, should havebeen surprised that such fate hadbefallen Jerusalem. The faithfulprophet, Jeremiah, was constant inwarning the people that destructionawaits the nation if the nation does

not repent. Jeremiah warned thepeople of Judah, but they did notheed his message. The people's fail-ure to heed the word of the Lord leftGod no choice but to bring wrathupon Judah. In chapter 1:12, person-ified as an abandoned widow, thecity now cried out for comfort. Sheasked, "Is it nothing to you, all ye thatpass by?" Jerusalem seems to besaying to those viewing her desola-tion, "Does this not affect you at all?"Although Jerusalem was indeedexperiencing sorrow, she had no oneto blame but herself!

Having portrayed the magnitudeof Jerusalem's grief and pain in chap-ter 1, the prophet Jeremiah rises to asummit of hope in chapter 3:22-24.Jeremiah came to the settled convic-tion that, yes, the city was destroyedand laid in ruins, and the temple was

rubble; yet the people were not con-sumed. It was because of the Lord'smercies that prevented Judah frombeing completely and entirely annihi-lated. So, judgment is set in the con-text of mercy.

Brethren, it was because of theLord's "hesed" love that He didn't getrid of us! We should always live inthe context that "we exist onlybecause God does not give us whatwe really deserve. Every day, weexperience His goodness as His angeris taken away from us. His compas-sion is new every day, like the morn-ing dew on the grass. So, whateveryour plight may be, keep your con-text right - God's merciful compas-sions are great! Great is the Lord'sfaithfulness to us!

May God Bless!

Are you tired of complaining tofamily and friends about things youfeel powerless to change? Or, as col-lege costs continue to climb and stu-dent loan debts increase, do you orsomeone you know feel helplessthat your opinion could make a posi-tive change?

If you answered yes, know thatthe federal government is giving youa chance – now through May 27– tospeak up during an important publiccomment period. Specifically, theU.S. Department of Education (DOE)wants to learn more about the qual-ity of career education programs.These programs, offered by a varietyof for-profit colleges, have raisedconcerns about greater student debtand poor employment outcomes.These schools are also large benefici-aries of federal student loan dollars.

If enough collective voices –organizations, educators, consumersand others – speak in support of

consumer protections, for-profit col-leges’ ‘rules of the road’ can and willchange for the better.

Commonly known as the ‘gainfulemployment’ rule, DOE proposes tocut off federal funds to career educa-tion programs where former stu-dents earn incomes too low in com-parison to their debt. When incomesare too low or loan defaults too high,then students have not been pre-pared for “gainful employment.”

By the May 27 comment dead-line, DOE wants to learn the answerto one basic question: Are studentsreally gaining the skills and trainingthat lead to career tracks withincomes large enough to offset theheavy debts incurred?

For Black and Latino students, thegainful employment rule is particu-larly important. A new research briefby the Center for ResponsibleLending (CRL) finds that students ofcolor enroll more frequently in for-profit colleges than other students.The disproportionate enrollment iscaused in part by high-pressure salestactics. Some schools have beenaccused of deliberately targetingstudents of color for enrollment intheir predatory programs.

Further, for-profit colleges oftenhave high tuition and fees that costmore than twice as much for a four-year public institution and four timesas much for a two-year public

school, often with sub-par gradua-tion rates.

The brief states, “A post-second-ary education can serve as an assetthat enables graduates to securegood jobs with steady incomes,enabling further accumulation ofother assets in the future such as ahome, business and secure retire-ment . . . . Unfortunately, for-profitsoften fail to provide a quality educa-tion for students, leaving many witha dangerous level of debt and littleimprovement in earning potential.”

The proposed rule would alsorequire:

• Institutions to certify that theirprograms meet applicable accredita-tion requirements and state or fed-eral licensure standard; and

• Institutions to publicly discloseinformation about the programcosts, debt, and performance oftheir gainful employment programsso that students can make better-informed decisions.

An earlier 2012 report by theSenate’s Health, Education, Laborand Pensions Committee found thata majority of students at for-profitschools were unable to completetheir programs. It also found thatschools often misled students abouttheir ability to secure a job in theirfield after graduation or to transferto another institution to continuetheir studies.

The low graduation rate of for-profit colleges imposes financial bur-dens that will linger long after enroll-ment. As these former studentsenter the job market, they are hin-dered by the lack of a marketablecredential and simultaneously bur-dened with loan repayment. Thelow-level of graduates, CRL finds,may also explain why for-profit col-lege borrowers are also more likelyto default on their student loans.

In a recent letter to the editor ofthe Washington Post, MauraDundon, a CRL senior policy counselwrote, “Since students of color dis-proportionately enroll in for-profitcolleges, they have been dispropor-tionately harmed.”

In 2011, for-profit advocatesspoke up when a similar proposalwas made. Their strident voicesderailed attempts to bring fairnessto this area of consumer lending. In2014, we cannot afford a secondmistake. If you or someone youknow has been affected by thisdilemma or felt powerless to changeit, now is your chance to make ameaningful contribution to thisimportant public debate.

This time, the same consumersharmed by these institutions shouldshare their real-life experiences athttp://rspnsb.li/1kY3ai0.

The issue of affordable housinghas long been a pressing one inDallas, particularly in neighbor-hoods that have historically beenneglected by developers. Non-profit organizations such as theCommunity Wide DevelopmentCorporation, began by business-man Sherman Roberts, haveattempted to remedy the situation.

In June, the company that Mr.Roberts began eight years ago, willlaunch the Lancaster Urban Villagehousing and retail developmentproject, located on 2.5 acres ofland on Lancaster Road in thesouthern sector of our city acrossthe street from the VeteransAdministration Hospital.

The development, which will bea model for future housing devel-opments in the area, will include45 apartment dwellings in a gatedcommunity with state-of-the-artamenities for families with andwithout children. Included in thedevelopment are a 1600 squarefoot family- oriented restaurant,and an 8000 square foot office andresidential building.

The total development costs are$30 million. I was able to secure$8.5 million in federal funding forthe project. Since the very first daythat I became a member ofCongress, affordable housing hasbeen a pressing issue. People needquality places to live, and theLancaster Urban Village projectwill provide them with exactly that.

Throughout our country, it isclear to elected officials, businessowners, community leaders andmembers of the clergy that neg-lected neighborhoods can be revi-talized through the developmentof affordable housing, and prudenteconomic development. Families

that are looking for good schoolsfor their children are interested inliving in areas where quality afford-able housing exists.

A visionary since the time thathe graduated from East TexasState, Mr. Roberts, a native ofAbilene, does not intend to stop hisefforts to help revitalize portions ofSouth

Dallas with Lancaster KiestVillage.

Their long-range vision includesthe development of more than 325units of multi-family housing, andmore than 53,000 square feet ofoffice and retail space in theLancaster Coordinator. Their plansinclude developing residenceswhere employees of the VA hospi-tal can live and raise their families.

With the cost of gas and trans-portation rising, imagine thedelight of a VA employee who isable to walk from his or her resi-dence in the morning to their placeof employment, stop on their wayin an eatery to purchase a cup ofcoffee, and a newspaper or plug in

their mobile device. This is thefuture. This is what Mr. Robertsand his colleagues intend to do.

I have been supportive of theirefforts to rebuild our neighbor-hoods, and will continue to bethere for them, securing availablefederal funds, and encouragingthem to seek other sources of sup-port.

What City Wide has done withthe Lancaster Urban Village projectis consistent with Dallas MayorMike Rawlings' "Grow South" ini-tiative. The mayor's plans call forstrengthening neighborhoods,schools and cultural institutions inSouth Dallas. If fully funded andexecuted properly, it will help tobring about a renaissance in thecity's southern urban core.

come change after a long, cold win-ter—but as the mercury rises, it’s cru-cial to protect our animal companionsby never leaving them in parked vehi-

cles. Every year, PETA receives dozensof reports of animals suffering anddying in hot, parked cars. Cruelty-to-animals charges are routinely filed insuch cases.

It only takes minutes for a parkedcar to cook an animal alive: On a warm

day, even with the windows cracked,the temperature inside a parked carcan reach more than 160 degrees.Parking in the shade and/or leavingwater in the vehicle won’t help.Symptoms of heatstroke include rest-lessness, excessive thirst, heavy panti-ng, lethargy, lack of appetite and coor-dination, dark tongue, and vomiting.Dogs can succumb to heatstroke in just15 minutes, resulting in brain damageor death.

Please, when it’s even a little warm

outside, never leave any living being ina parked car, even for “just a minute.” Ifyou see a dog left in a car, have theowner paged or call 911 immediately—the dog’s life depends on it. Visitwww.PETA.org to learn more.

Athletes at Northwestern Universityshocked the National Collegiate AthleticAssociation (NCAA), the governing bodyof college sports, by taking steps tounionize student/athletes. Surprisingly,NBA Hall of Famer Bill Russell, formerNFL great Jim Brown and HarryEdwards, who organized a human rightsprotest at the 1968 Olympics in MexicoCity that culminated in Tommy Smithand John Carlos giving a clenched fistsalute when they mounted the winnersplatform, do not support the idea.

It’s not that Bill Russell, Jim Brown orHarry Edwards have mellowed – theyhave not. Rather, they think there’s abetter way to help athletes who gener-ate $500 billion a year to major universi-ties, athletic vendors and others.

“I am totally against the unions incollege,” Brown said. “I don’t like theNCAA. I think it’s a greedy organization,a dictatorial organization, an organiza-

tion that’s totally unfair to the play-ers…But on the other hand, I think wehave all gotten away from the value ofan education.”

Russell and Brown made their com-ments recently as part of a sports panelmoderated by Edwards at the Universityof Texas. The discussion was part of 3-day summit at the Lyndon B. JohnsonPresidential Library commemoratingthe 50th anniversary of the 1964 CivilRights Act.

Russell said the NCAA’s moneymachine should be viewed within thecontext of other successful U.S. busi-nesses.

“All great fortunes are amassed oncheap or slave labor,” he explained.“The NCAA – the one group everybodyis focusing on – has this moneymachine. To keep it this way, the laborforce has to be free or paid low wages.”

As Everett Glenn, a former sportsagent, pointed out in a 3-part series forthe NNPA News Service: “College sportsis big business – for everyone except theathletes who make it possible. Collegebasketball and football have long oper-ated as quasi-farm systems for profes-sional teams by discovering talent, train-ing players, and highlighting perform-ance.”

For example, Glenn noted, “Blackathletes represent 52.9 percent of OhioState University’s basketball and foot-ball rosters and dominate among its starplayers, fueling a nearly $130 million

athletic department budget on a cam-pus where Black males represent only2.7 percent of the student body. The dis-parity between the graduation rate forOSU’s Black football players, at 38 per-cent, and all student-athletes, at 71 per-cent, represent the highest disparity inthe Big-10.”

If colleges are serving as farm teamsfor the pros, players are spending lessand less time on the farm.

This year, for example, Kentuckyfreshmen basketball stars Julius Randleand James Young have announced thatthey will enter the 2014 NBA draft. It’sone-and-done for the Wildcats. Randleis projected to be among the top fivepicks, which means he may earn $6.1 to$7.5 million over two years.

But many pro athletes have receiveda truckload of money, only to squanderit. Terrell Owens, Allen Iverson, AntoineWalker are just a few who come tomind.

Sports Illustrated reported that bythe time former NFL players have beenretired for two years, 78 percent ofthem “have gone bankrupt or are underfinancial stress because of joblessnessor divorce.” Within five years of retire-ment, approximately 60 percent of for-mer NBA players are broke.

Athletes have to cope with otherissues as well, said Harry Edwards

“Fifteen percent of the athletes whoshow up for the combine having alreadybeen in concussion situations before

they even get to the NFL – and concus-sions are not something that you getover. That’s something the unions can’taddress.”

Instead of unions, Edwards said, theemphasis should be put on making sureathletes get an education so that even ifthey end up broke, they will have otherskills with which to support themselves.

“When we talk about young stu-dents, I think there are other considera-tions that take priority over the mone-tary aspect,” Edwards told me after apress conference in Austin, Texas.“Money shifts the focus even more thanalready is the case and away from theeducation imperative that these institu-tions are obligated and should be com-mitted to delivering on.”

Edwards said rather than rushinginto the pros. Student/athletes shouldhave scholarships that allow them tocomplete college within six years. Forthose who complete their education infour years, they should be given anoth-er two years for graduate study.

“Ninety-eight percent of athleteswho play college football will never beon a professional roster,” Edwardsexplained. “They are going to have to gowith what they achieve educationally.”

He should know. Edwards has a Ph.Din sociology from Cornell University andhas been a longtime professor at theUniversity of California-Berkeley. ARIES (Born between 21st

March & 20th April) if you havebeen intending to take a morepractical approach to yourfinances, now is the time tohead in that direction. Theseneed to be your decisions andnot what others expect, or yourdetermination will falter.

It is importantyou focus on being happy with-in, even if the circumstances youare dealing with in life are notexactly of your liking. Have faiththat you can change things forthe better.

GEMINI: (Born between 21stMay & 20th June) you can comeup with solutions that will satis-fy somebody who has beendetermined to change some-thing or gain greater control,without feeling as though youare making personal sacrifices.Much has to do with the wayroutines can be organized differ-ently, which likely includessomething being brought to anend.

CANCER: (Born between 21stJune & 22nd July) you need tothink about what you want inpractical terms. Others seemhappy to fit in and make whatev-er changes are necessary. Itcould be a matter of gettingsomething you have wanted butnow that it might be availableyou may not be so sure. This is abig test in coming to realizationsabout true priorities in life.

LEO: (Born between 23rd July &22nd August) you can begin tofeel happier, either about thecommitments you need to makeor simply because you feel moreready to knuckle down to obliga-tions you know you need toaccept. Something tells youthere will be benefits to gain inthe future, although that is notobvious just yet. A change ofattitude can certainly do won-ders.

It is aprecursor to becoming morepersonally organized in the nottoo distant future.

CAPRICORN: (Born between22nd December & 19th January)Life will seem to turn a bettercorner and much can be linkedto you having improved expecta-tions of what can be accom-plished. You can be more confi-dent about your abilities andwhat you are capable to han-dling, especially if there hasbeen something you have notfully understood. Someone canbe generous.

AQUARIUS: (Born between20th January & 18th February)getting a good foundation inplace is important over the next6 months. This can be connect-ed to home and family but notnecessarily. The main thing isthat you apply persistence, evenwhen it turns out to be a lotmore work than you first antici-pated. Proper effort put in nowwill produce significant benefitsin the future.

PISCES: (Born between 19thFebruary & 20th March) whatyou sense is possible will requireyou to be practical of mind. Itmight also mean you need to letgo of goals you have had in mindbut have found difficult to makeany real progress with. You alsohave to enjoy what you do.When this is the case you willflourish. Have you been tryingto please others instead of your-self?

"AN EXPRESSION OF A PROPHET'S GRIEF AND DECLARATION OF HOPE" LAMENTATIONS 1:12; 3:22-24

Rev. Johnny C. Smith, Pastor – MountMoriah Missionary Baptist Church

By Colleen White

"Without faith it is impossible toplease Him, for whoever would draw

near to God must believe that He existsand that He rewards those who seekHim" (Hebrews 11:6). What are youbelieving God for? How are you show-ing God that you have faith? Are yousaying with your mouth that youbelieve God is able to do something andyet you doubt Him in your heart? If thisis you, it is not too late to learn how toput your faith in action.

If you have received Christ as your

personal savior, then half the battle hasbeen won already. Now you need toplace your trust in Him. When God toldNoah to build the ark, Noah put his faithin action. He began building the ark.Noah did not walk around doubtingGod in his heart. Noah pleased Godbecause Noah was willing to put hisaction in faith.

Once you learn to put your faith inaction, you're showing God that you

believe in Him and trusting Him to dowhat He said He would do. It's easy forus to give faith lip service, we all do it.However, we need to put action behindour faith.

Can you put your faith in action thisweek? Are you willing to believe thatGod is able to do what He says He willdo? If so, then you're on the right track.This week let us all put some actionbehind our faith and keep doubt out ofour minds. Let's trust God! Amen?Amen.

Motorists who don’tbuckle up in compliancewith state seat belt lawsface fines and court costsup to $200 as stepped upenforcement gets under-way this month duringthe Texas Department ofTransportation’s 13thannual “Click It or Ticket”campaign, May 19 to June1.

“Seat belts save lives,”said John Barton, TxDOTdeputy executive director.“That’s a fact. Buckling upwill keep you from gettinga ticket, and more impor-tantly, it could save yourlife. Whether you’re thedriver or a passenger,everyone in the vehicle isrequired by law to wear aseat belt for every trip.The cost of not using one

just isn’t worth it.”The “Click It or Ticket”

campaign is credited withmotivating millions ofmotorists to always usetheir seat belts. Only 76percent of Texans usedseat belts when the cam-paign began in 2002.Today, 9 out of 10 Texansbuckle up. The NationalHighway Traffic Safetyestimates that since itsinception, the “Click It orTicket” campaign in Texashas resulted in 3,962fewer traffic fatalitieswhile preventing 66,823serious injuries and savingmore than $15 billion

in related economiccosts.

In 2013, there were 943fatalities and 5,383 seri-ous injuries in Texas

resulting from crashes inwhich drivers or passen-gers were not wearingseat belts. Wearing a seatbelt increases the chancesof surviving a seriouscrash by 45 percent.

In pickup trucks, thatnumber jumps to 60 per-cent as those vehicles aremore likely than cars toroll over in a crash. In roll-over crashes, seat beltshelp keep occupants frombeing ejected from thevehicle.

Texas law requireseveryone in a vehicle tobe buckled up, includingback seat passengers.Learn more about “Click Itor Ticket” by visiting tex-asclickitorticket.com.

CLICK IT OR TICKET’ CAMPAIGN WARNS TEXANS TO BUCKLE UP OR PAY UP

Law enforcement cracks down on unbuckled drivers, passengers

May 19 - June 1

By State RepresentativeHelen Giddings

Once again, we are witness-es to man's inhumanitytoward man. But more specif-ically, man's inhumanitytoward girls. The world iswatching with horror, thestory of the 200 plus younggirls kidnapped in Nigeria inthe middle of the night withthe threat of being sold. Welisten for any hint of their fate,knowing how frightened theyare and praying they have suf-fered no physical harm. Weare anxious for those respon-sible for this atrocity to bebrought to justice. The seri-ousness of this situation can-not be exaggerated.

Thank goodness PresidentBarack Obama has actedswiftly in offering assistancefrom the United States forfinding these terrified younggirls who hungered for aneducation and a better life.Our military and FBI are assist-ing in rescue efforts. Thesegirls matter. Few would ques-tion our using any and allresources to help them. Ourprimary objective is the res-cue of these kidnapped girls.Conversely, there is an under-lying global tragedy created bythe devaluing of women, thatif unaddressed puts women allover the world at risk forbeing enslaved. If these cap-tors are not apprehended and

punished, what message doesthat send to young girls incountries where the educa-tion of women is discouraged?

These are not the firstyoung girls to suffer this fatewhile attempting to get aneducation. The universal mes-sage and supporting actionscoming out of this - is thateveryone, yes, even girls, areentitled to an education.

The global community mustbe engaged, outraged, andmust demand that theNigerian government solvethe problems associated withterrorism, human rights viola-tions, and human trafficking.Generally, our outrageendures for about a month orso, and then we move on tosomething else. We can't letthat happen again.

At what point does theUnited Nations become seri-ously involved, and when doesthe world community stopturning aside, looking theother way and ignoring theheinous crimes committedagainst women and childrenin Africa and other parts of theworld.

Our society can ill afford totolerate gender based vio-lence anywhere in the world,and that includes Africa. Noneof us can sit on the sidelinesand be onlookers. Every oneof us must do something -everyone can do something:

writing to the President,members of Congress, send-ing letters to the Nigerian gov-ernment, to the UnitedNations, using social mediaand anything else to focusattention on the urgency offinding these young girls.

Yes, some action is beingtaken, but it is not enough andwill never be enough untilthey are found, returned safe-ly and unharmed to their fam-ilies, and the captors are pun-ished. This is what must hap-pen immediately.Long term, we, as a globalcommunity, have much morework to do in eliminating theappalling, painful, widespreadviolence and inequalities suf-fered by women. Hopefully allof us will see the need tobecome active in an effort toeliminate the oppression ofwomen and girls anywhere inthe world, but especially indeveloping countries.

None of us can do every-thing, all of us can do some-thing - what something willyou do?
