i want the city learned to be aligned with our children and children's needs. i want them to be concerned we're losing our a african-american population and we're concerned about losing them in the schools i want the city to be on the same track and be in cooperation when we talk about 9 - for all of san francisco children's to is a have a bigger agenda. so i guess i'm not so afraid of giving up governance what we've seen and heard doesn't say we give up combrns its nor aligned and better effective and efficient of fund. clearly we can't do that alone i'm going to be honest. i think i'm my fourth-generation san franciscan i'm afraid of the future for san francisco for our children. i do this somewhat out of fear for our families that find it harder and harder to live in san francisco and survive here but i also do it for the future of the children and the families and in particular our students that will graduate from our city hall's and hope they'll be able to live here and raise children. i believe in order to do that we must work with the city to

pits children first and empowers our children to reimagine to work together with our children and families as we think about the collective approach so we stop the silence of how we looked funding instead of looking at the programs how do we find needs areas in the city for children regardless of what program. that's the need and how do we fund it rather than who's eligible for the pot of funding. i want to ask at this point our achieve of staff laura iowa are a to share the slides. thank you i'm going to tag team with the superintendant because the next slide role talked about the promise of how actually go back one sorry. how to this greater collaboration of common goals support our children. that's whoift about those 5 reports easy finding and the call from the mayor and superintendant to do business differently custodial midnight where all the heads in the city and all of us at the scuffed met together and we are murray the success. a lot of us have programs and goals but a lot of the programs are successful but when you add it up and look at the opportunity gap for the students in the

secondly, i have 7 great grounded children and other children in the school system i appreciate all the information presented here today about the detriment and the detrimental problem. i looked at the information i have there recent significantly variation of ethnic it 31 percent of asians and 51 percent of latino and 58 percent of african-american and 4 percent of white children consume two or more glasses of soda i'm here to support you thank you very much >> thank you reverend next speaker. >> i'm going to call a few more names. robert e johnson. debbie cowen who's hospital spoken and thomas and other. >> next speaker. >> good afternoon. i'm dr. i'm the executive director of apa family support services and the co-chair a group of nonprofit organizations helping with the services to the city. i'm here to speak to you a little bit of a challenge of getting their support. i'm also on the facilitate of san jose state. the facts have been stated and the public science is undisputed i want to applaud our leadership in bringing this forward it's failed in other cities but once again san fr

all this the the children's fund provides. we will have supervisor mar talked about from 3 to 5 year funding cycles h that enables the nonprofits to get the funding and membership support. there's been a lot of talk about the sporting nonprofits it's not just that it's about supporting many people in the room that give their hearts to young people every day of their lives. san francisco is a better practices for it and they've achieved miracles in their lives. we owe it to future generations of san francisco to make sure we authorize the children's fund and the spirit of many people who talk about not only looking at the next quarterly report but actually 7 generations ahead that's the work we have today and we'll make sure the children's fund passes. there's been a lot of discussion about this not being a collaborative progress my staff has been working tirelessly to make sure we have the interest groups at the table we have a stake from the foundation community and the mayor's office and community groups people who receive s

save the children, at the moment, is supporting the iraqi children through protection, child protection systematic, and to work for all children in iraq. at the same time save the children is responding to the displacement for the conflict in anbar. we are supporting the syrian children who have been displaced to iraq. so overall, we have programs that essentially work with women who are mainly taking care of women, households, to empower them to be economically self-reliant, to be able to pay for children's education and be self-reliant. >> i want to get an idea of how orphans view iraqis. do they have a chance of being adopted. >> many have relatives, and social links are strong. either extended family will take care of them. institutions, government institutions are not enough to accept them, and save the children does not agree, you know, to keep children in orphanages, so we support government and civil society to help them to have a normal life, to be within a family and go to school which are for every children. >> interesting to talk to you. thank you for joining them from iraq.

so it is i look forward to making sure the children's fund is renewed. didn't put my name on the supervisor avalos proposal but want to convey my thoughts around the children's fund. i believe that we should be providing funding for the children's be fund to transition age youth i've been a strong supporter to make sure we're funding the housing and others needs. it's a critical part of our social he safety net in san francisco to make sure that children who are on their way to becoming adults have what they need to succeed particularly those who are coming out of foster care. the question is really what the size of the fund should be. i know that there is a propriety to increase it from $0.03 to $0.05 it's an open article for discussion. we have a lot of demands on our general fund we have to make sure we're addressing all the needs. there is a debate how much we're spending out of our city funds on the transitional children. i look forward to those statistics it shouldn't be debatable we should figure out where to go. so i look forward to the conversat

children are required to bring livelihoods to the family. so child labor is an issue on the rise. >> reporter: that's why this year unicef has asked for an additional $30 million to support education for syrians and jordan. >> around 75 syrian children in jordan are out of school and need urgent and informal education opportunities. there are many reasons why they're not in school. some childre parents need theirn to work to ease financial burden, and some keep their children at home in a society where they don't feel integrated and safe. >> now living in jordan's northern city. she has been out of school for two years and spends most of her time help herring mother around the house. she has never been to school and now should be in the first grade. their mother won't allow her daughters to walk to school. >> i'm afraid my daughter also get lost on the way to school or that a stranger will approach them and convince them to go with them. we have heard stories of girls dealing kidnapped near their schools. >> syrian children are some among th

the children with special needs. that is having a disability is a challenge they should not be penalized and by constantly reducing our jobs and our hours and our pays, but yet forcing us to bridge the gap to meet the needs of these children are unfair. para professionals make these than $25,000 a year but yet we have to support our children and we want our children to have a quality education as well. we want to have the same opportunity as others. i would like for my daughter to see the efforts in the work that i put in to change children's lives and to be inspired to want to change their jobs. but how can she do that when she looks at me struggling every day to meet the needs, but still loving the children that i work for. so when i asked for you, i asked for you to put a face to when you put the numbers to the minutes, put a face when you are considering to consolidate jobs because you are not just effecting the children, that are trying to get an education but effecting the children who rescind our children to g

food to the wife of his other brother, who had three children. liu says his brother later died of his injuries. residents here denounce the system as cruel and unfair. >> "for those who don't have much money, it is hard for them to have a second or third child, for the fine will make them return to poverty. for the rich there is no restriction on the number of the children they can have: the birth of four or even five children is also permitted. ...what they do is not to control the number of population but to squeeze money from people into their own pockets." back in guangdong, zhou toasts his brother's birthday with friends. but thoughts of what has happened to his missing daughter continue to haunt him. zhou says he will keep looking for her, even if that trail leads him to find her happily adopted by another family, in another country. >> "i would be overjoyed if i could see her. but i would let her to decide whether to stay there or not, because, after all, she has a complete adoptive family there. as her father, i will be much satisfied ver

we know more than two million children have been displaced inside children. one million have fled the country as refugees. tell us about the prev lens of post dr post-traumatic stress disorder among children? >> what we are touching upon today is the tip of the iceberg. the children inside syria are unreachable. our aid our services cannot reach them so we really do not know and the statistics we get today are conservative. we fear there is much more and that are in need of psychiatric and psychological help and not to mention, also, more basic medical aid and food that are not reaching them. so when we speak about the situation inside syria, it's dire. most of our agencies, save the children and many others, are unable to access where it is most needed. those who are still inside syria are the most vulnerable, those who couldn't make it through t. >> these children are not just traumatized by hearing bombs or witnessing a family member being killed. some of these children have also been abused and tortured, i understand. tell united states, carl, about some

other children beha very differtly. e child with separation anxiety can have onl- let's say, worries, and not show any evidence of it in his behavior. so a child could have a great deal of concern about the welfare of his parents--where ty are-- go to schooldo everying he or she is supposed to do, but be miserable in the process, or uncomfortable. there are degrees from mild discomfort to very severe discomfort. on the other hand, there are children with separation anxiet who become dysfunctional and o then refuse to experience the kind of separation that we take for granted in children of their age, such as going out to play, sleeping over at children's houses, letting the parents go out for the evening, staying with relatives, even going on trips where you go away from home. how did it stop you from doing things that y waed to do-- those elings that you described? they were so strong that i couldt anything. i'st brk do and cry. i codn't go. so what did you do? i would say, om, please dot let me go." most of the time,

>> we're hoping to reach 20 million children. this is the biggest campaign that we are launching at unicef here at the partners of the middle east. the reason is that we have found polio cases that have unfortunately come back to syria towards end of last year, so we needed to respond rapidly and quickly and at a very wide range. >> have you been able to pinpoint where this virus came from and how it spread? >> yes, it originated in pakistan and then it came to syria from there, and the reason why polio has reemerged is because of the complex. we're talking about a vicious civil strife that has been going on in syria for more than three years, that resulted in massive disruption of populations and also in neighboring countries. people have fled into neighboring countries. the violence, the displacement, having a refugee cries, lack of access to humanitarian aid workers to vaccinate children, all these combined were a terrific recipe for the reemergence of polio back into syria. >> given the at-risk children that you mentioned, ho

possible from a sugary tax will be pronounced and touch the lives of tens of thousands of school children everyday in san francisco. those are the same kids that deserve to live and make the right choices. i mean, i'll leave it at that i'm happy to help in any way to get the information >> thank you supervisor wiener. >> thank you for your work. i want to in terms of the school and the state of the school district and how many kids there are. whatever the trends have been in terms of the number of kids. we everything that right now in san francisco and statewide our per capita spending is atrocious xard compared to where it should be and why the voters passed a tax years ago and before prop thirty passed we would go through a roller-coaster and a you number of lay off nos for the teachers and so the district has struggled although prop thirty has helped i hear a lot some of the areas that have surfed that this measure would help fund the school lunch program that ms. brooks mentioned there's a lot of room for improvement so kids who want to eat on campus and eat 2 and 3 meals they don't h

laqueur works with these children.er own 17-year-old daughter was abducted four years ago, florence has not seen her since. >> when i sleep sometimes i dream of talking to her but i forgive them. i even forgive the rebel leader. i think by forgiving, release the pain that is within me. >> reporter: there are so many world vision can keep each child only 45 days. some find family waiting to greet them when they come home. an uncle and grandmother waited for 12-year-old yeffes who they had not seen since his abduction three months ago.. but for others the future looks dim. they've missed years of school. their parents have been killed. their bodies have been maimed. some girls have given birth. >> when they tell you how they got that pregnant, some of them don't even know the father of the baby. and some of them don't even want to touch their children. >> reporter: some of these children have sexually transmitted diseases, even aids. in uganda, craig heaps for segment two. >>> when we come back on a second look, a rare l

my children work on the internet.i work on the internet and for years i have raised over $100 million to build companies in this country to support an open internet so let me start with that. second, i did not say that i'm moving icann to geneva. this is speculation because we opened an office in geneva. we opened an office in many places in singapore so people conflate things because they like to but if you can find statement where he said i'm moving to geneva i would like to hear. you can't change the coffee in the cafeteria. i can't even make that decision. i can't even change the copies of the board will have to make the decision and the board can't make the decision without the community agreeing. do you think the community will agree to move thousands of contracts we have today that are working marvelously in california to another place? why would we do that? so let's stop the speculation on this. i have no plans to move to icann to geneva. we have an office in geneva and that's the end of it. on your second que

in just sixteen on roma children. we choose to go. i consider this development to be a reversible and don't even want to think about what will happen in fifteen to twenty years' time pass by when you get the nails. but when i tried to make the school authorities aware of the problem a few years ago no one wanted to listen to gary. in unity to the children are taught in two shifts. upper grades attend classes in the mornings in primary school children in the afternoons. two hundred twenty four first graders attend school here. although much like me the children have no experience with the kind of discipline expected high schools. so teaching here is the real challenge. the gussied up with it's incredibly difficult to hold their attention and teach them basic material bare necessities. you can see this for yourself and turn my back five minutes and it's chaos already. not only that most pupils barely speak a word of slovakia. nicolette can only show us how. when we ask her what she likes best about school she really understands the ques

we talk about how we have less and less children over the years in san francisco but we have less children attending public schools and closings schools in certain areas at the same time from my understanding the amount of money we're spending in school is increasing so having an understanding of exactly how that makes sense based on our comments specifically, i want to know what looks like i want to have a clear understanding of that information by the way, what you're talking about around school and food programs and alexander additional resources that complaisances, of course, but i want to know what's happening >> is that i don't know if that's a confidence we should get into. >> i think we should engage mayor ed lee and the superintendant but the new food systems that ms. brooke brought it's creating more nutritional food some of the community members were active parents in making sure that low income kids didn't have that stigma so theres a card that's used so not a stigma and major effort in the districts that helps with money but the school district is creating healthier opposed. i
