A RESOLUTION EXTENDING FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR THE

possible for the survival and development of the childs right to the
enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health

WHEREAS, there is the constant and daily presence of the said

mendicant children in the area and perimeter of the Peoples House and
there seems to be no noticeable action on the part of government to either
alleviate their condition, or at least process them through the proper
