Services One of the Assistance League s principal interests is the education and welfare of children.
All children respond to puppets.
Scripts on a variety of subjects, including understanding children with learning disabilities, recognizing and dealing with child abuse or neglect, and the problems faced by handicapped children, are acted out and then followed by open discussions between the children and the puppets. Children respond openly and sincerely to these sensitive presentations and our members have found the program a gratifying one. Currently, the puppet troupe is concentrating on serving schools in Spring Branch and Houston Independent School Districts. In 1999 and 2000 Kids on the Block made over 45 performances and reached over 4,500 children with their presentations.
