Our region\u2019s delegation included participation of a youth delegation comprised of representatives from Brazil, El Salvador, Guatemala and Panama, all participants in their countries\u2019 GNRC programs. They met in a two day pre-Forum with 50 children and adolescents from different regions worldwide, sharing experiences and preparing to participate as Forum delegates with the adults. The participation of children and youth in GNRC gave special significance to the commitment to incorporating them as participants and full actors in the processes of change we want to generate for their wellbeing.<\/p>

\"622210\u201cWe do not want you to work for us, we want you to work with us,\u201d was the frank and sincere expression the children made of their will and need to assume the role of actors in the construction of their surroundings.<\/p>

Part of the results of the Fourth Forum was the\u00a0Declaration<\/a>, and the LAC delegation summarized their deliberations in a\u00a0regional documents<\/a>\u00a0where they assumed commitments regarding the situations of poverty of the children in our region, in synergy with previous commitments to implement the Intercultural and Interfaith Program for Ethics Education and the World Day of Prayer and Action for Children.<\/p>

An initiative on poverty includes mobilizing faith-based resources, contributing to overcoming child poverty, which will stress spiritual awakening over the root causes of poverty and address unequal distribution of resources, war and violence, inoperative governments and corruption.<\/p>

This initiative will be driven with a vision of creating a world where no child will live in poverty, and the commitment of defending them against every kind of injustice.<\/p>
