Research shows that fathers who are close to
their children become happier, more empathetic
individuals and engage in less risk behaviors.
Children with positive male role models in
their lives become safe and secure adults.

WHY is this exhibit important?To create
long-term, sustainable change, it is necessary to
work on removing core problems - which only
can be done by changing attitudes and
consciousness.
37
WHY should I support it?Rather than putting
band-aids on the symptoms, Hope Exhibits works
to change attitudes that lead to behavioral
change -with the potential of creating real and
lasting positive change.
38
PRACTICAL EXAMPLESInstead of building more
prisons for gang members...Let us reduce the
need by giving young boys more positive role
models to look up to and emulate.
39
Rather than building more womens shelters for
victims of physical and sexual violence...Let
us change negative gender attitudes and work to
halt the violence.
40
Rather than building more treatment centers for
victims of armed conflicts, or for HIV
patients...Let us create a more peaceful
society.Let us work preventatively with
HIV/aids. Let us work for more gender equity.
41
Rather than building more childrens homes for
AIDS orphans and abandoned children...Let us
create a better chance for the next generation to
grow up with present and healthy parents.
42
Rather than focusing on whats wrong with the
world, and whats not working... Let us focus
on whats RIGHT with the world, and create more
of the same - more GOOD.

  mothers and kids here but not much about fathers.
  
• It's encouraging dads to be involved with their
  families - and stop HIV too."

The boxing club Luta Pela Paz is located in the
Favelas of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Marco (grey
T-shirt) started training and studying there as a
young boy. He now trains other youth.The club
successfully keeps youngsters from a street life
of gangs and drugs. It also gives both the young
boys and the older trainers a place of purpose,
joy and hope.
