There are about 10,000 churches in Arkansas. I'm calling right now on each church in Arkansas to practice what it preaches by adopting three welfare mothers. Imagine what could happen. People who think they have nowhere to turn will suddenly have a support network of hundreds of people. Retired teachers in the church can tutor welfare recipients and their children.
Homemakers can provide transportation or they can baby-sit while the mother studies.
Youth group members can serve as role models and mentors for children who may not even know their fathers. Beauticians in the church can show welfare mothers how better to fix their hair, and church members can chip in to buy a business wardrobe. Business owners and managers can conduct practice interviews. If they have positions available, they can offer jobs to welfare recipients. What I'm proposing will require some sacrifice.
