It is time for policy makers and leaders to stop and take note as only hours remain for students to take to the stage at the Tadra Kahani show from tomorrow to highlight issues of concern to them and the nation.

The Ecumenical Center for Research Education and Advocacy hopes the policy makers and leaders will seriously listen to what our children have to say about issues affecting individual communities, especially issues surrounding the impacts of poverty.

ECREA's Father Kevin Barr, who is also the chairman of the Wages Council, said Tadra Kahani is the ideal medium to send out the message.
