<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#333333">This is just a reminder that CANHelp will be hosting our fall
<b>Community Action Poverty Simulation (CAPS) </b>on <b>Wednesday, October 17th from 1:00PM-4:30PM at The ROC located at 115 Putman St. in Sulphur Springs</b>. This training would be a good experience for older students, people involved in civic organizations,
healthcare or mental health workers, non-profit agencies, educators, community leaders, churches or anyone who wants to understand the realities many in our communities face every day and find out more about the efforts going on in our communities to help
fight poverty! Please see the attached flyer for more information. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#333333">Why should you attend at Community Action Poverty Simulation (CAPS)?</span></u></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#333333">Sometimes it is difficult for those of us who have enough to truly understand the situations that families living in poverty experience every day - the decisions they have to
make, and the fears and frustrations they feel. That is why we are inviting you to walk a mile in the shoes of those facing poverty by participating in the Community Action Poverty Simulation (CAPS).</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#333333"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><u><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#333333">What to expect?</span></u></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#333333">The CAPS provides participants with the opportunity to assume the role of a low-income family member living on a limited budget. The experience is divided into four 15-minute
sessions, each of which represents one week in which you must provide for your family and maintain your home. As one participant commented,
<i>"This poverty simulation dramatically demonstrates how much time and energy many families have to give just to survive from day to day. It quickly dispels the myth ''that people would do fine if they would only go out and get a job!"</i>
