<p><font face="Book Antiqua, Bookman Old Style, serif" size="3"> Throughout
the site you will be able to read poems and stories written by creative
writing students at California State University Monterey Bay in collaboration
with students at Monterey Peninsula College's EOPS/CARE programs who
are currently receiving aid. California's new Welfare Reform Bill of
Jan. 1, 1998 is threatening single mothers on welfare who are currently
in college programs, seeking degrees and self-sufficiency. Single mothers
on welfare will not be able to further their education. They will have
to accept low-wage jobs and give up educational or professional goals
they may have for themselves. These are lived experiences and perspectives
of women on welfare. These are also stories of listening and being transformed
by that listening.</font> </p>
