Pastures Youth Centre
'Teen Parent Group'
Today we went to the Theatre Royal Stratford East to interview a wonderful lady who is the head of Youth Arts and Education. She recently worked with the Teen Parents group at Pastures Youth Centre. With her help they wrote a moving and thought provoking script based on the life of young man who gave up his daughter to be raised by family. The play is called Waiting for Kion and it was performed in front of 400 people at the theatre and was a huge success.
Jan is looking to take the project a step further and take the play to schools and colleges for the young to see. We have some young mothers in our group who have a keen interest in drama and are enthusiastic to have some involvement in the project with our support. Why don't you blog us if you are a budding actress in the making.
Today Tuesday 12th Feb 08 we interviewed Raymond Wood he is the programme manager for Early Stat Forest Gate. He tells us the background of Early Start. It was a very interesting interview for us to do. He talks about his role within Early Start and the services that it has to offer 'Teen Parents' Thanks Raymond for this interview, well done.
