Therefore, there are a number of sunshine violations that have to do with public occupation. Thank you. Hello, my name is rita lark. This is the second year i have worked with the Summer Lunch Program in the city and city and county in the housing project. Last year i worked [speaker not understood], this year i worked alemany.

So, as for high health i had to give it up, but im just letting you know

Here in San Francisco, the San Francisco bay areas home to a large environment Central American community and we in San Francisco, the city of st.

And when it comes to central america, we have a long history of involvement here in San Francisco where we saw the birth of the Sanctuary Movement in the 1980s when San Francisco provided a safe haven for Central American refugees fleeing civil war. Since the passage of the sanctuary ordinance in 1989, San Francisco has held the distinction of being a sanctuary city and i think that consistent with that tradition today, we need to be on the record saying that whats happening with these kids is simply wrong. We in San Francisco benefit from a rich network of culturally competent organizations and Service Providers that have the expertise to address the needs of these children.
