Representatives from UNICEF met with Mayor of San Pedro Town Daniel Guerrero to address issues regarding the disparities our children's health, education and life chances. And while infrastructure and facilities are lacking, UNICEF and the Town Council in San Pedro are creating ways to better the lives of children on the island. Love News spoke with the parties involved and here is what we found out.

According to Christine Norton who is a representative for UNICEF, they along with the Town Council are looking into applying successful initiatives aimed at making communities better places for the most vulnerable children and adolescents.

Norton stressed the need to invest more in community-based action which allows young people to be central to the planning and implementation of interventions that affect them. On a global level, UNICEF and UN-Habitat have also been spearheading the Child-Friendly Cities Initiative, providing services and protected areas which seek to put children at the heart of the urban agenda.
