Reaching out to ease burden of Buffalo’s impoverished communities
“Warren and community leaders say this stress is having a direct impact on children and bringing violence into a school, like the shooting and stabbing that occurred last week outside McKinley High School.
‘It spills over to the children in the school,’ described Pastor Giles. ‘This some how contributes to the rash of violence we have in this community.’
Pastor Giles says many inner-city children are also facing a great deal of trauma.
‘That they have to deal with it on a daily basis and sometimes adults are insensitive to that trauma,’ explained Giles.”
