Multi-language billboard message |
Marla Fulton, project facilitator for the West Side Youth
Development Coalition, holds a billboard mock-up that the coalition will be installing
at the corner of West Ferry and 19
th streets. The campaign is part of the coalition's
approach
for responsible parenting. The messages are in five languages: English,
Spanish, Arabic, Burmese and Somali. Five billboards have been installed
around the West Side in addition to five billboards that are already in place
from last year. The coalition received
a grant from the Office of National Drug Control Policy and the Substance and
Mental Health Services Administration to put up the billboards.
