Welcome!
I would like to thank the thousands of you who have
visited gangwar.com. It is apparently a needed resource in this ever-growing
battle against the violence that seems to be sweeping through the ranks
of the youth of our nation.
We are very excited here about the addition of our
monthly newsletter and hope you bear with us as we fine tune the site to
make it easy to navigate yet be full of current and changing information.
I hope that you have registered to receive e-mail
notification of the monthly updates. I am also preparing a "HERO
OF THE HEART" room where you can register your program or organization's
e mail address for others to contact and network with you. I have found
in traveling around the country there are a lot of good people doing good
things. Please be sure to e mail us with information about creative programs
you know of that are fighting this battle with us.
This month we are featuring a story and some other
material from the Corpus Christi area. Their community is suffering from
the symptoms of juvenile and gang violence and they are battling the problem
on a somewhat united front.
Thanks again and be sure to tell your friends to
check out our site and register for the updates.
