\"\"<\/span>The GNRC\u2019s Fourth Forum this year will address actions that faith-based groups can take to eliminate poverty. Local consultations have been called for, in order to nurture delegates\u2019 ideas with those of the children in their countries.<\/p>\n

With this in mind, a group of 8 children and youth came together to share what they think about the issue and the kind of solutions they would consider to face the problem.<\/p>\n

Among the solutions suggested by the group were:
\u2022 More job opportunities and be able to help with values. Hector, age 14.\"\"
<\/span>\u2022 Create programs for teachers to improve education. Hugo, age 15.
\u2022 Incorporate youth in workshop and trainings in organizations and churches. Blanquita, age 17.
\u2022 The government should open up a space for street sellers instead of taking their work away. Camila, age 14.
\u2022 Reduce global pollution, decentralize world resources, reduce poverty looking for new sources of energy. Carlos, age 19.
\u2022 Hold medical drives for poor towns, and generate jobs so they can purchase medicine. Claudia, age 20.
\u2022 Lack of education is at the base of all the problems, we have to give moral and intellectual education. Fatima, age 12.
\u2022 Implement projects for accompaniment and ethical education, but not during school hours, as an elective. In this, we as children can help out. Ariel, age 13.
