I am a social worker with Child Protective <br /> Services (CPS) in Hilo, and moat recently in Pahoa. I have been <br /> working at CPS for ten years in my current capacity. <br /> During the past four years I have worked directly and/or indirectly <br /> with the VACA employees. I have found them to be very effective in <br /> working with our many child victims. <br /> The VACA employees have been responsive to our children's needs. <br /> They are very skilled at working with our children and their <br /> familys in the least invasive manner, always demonstrating a <br /> concern for minimum traumatization. <br /> With County Council funding, the VACA unit will continue to protect <br /> our children and hold offenders of children accountable. Please <br /> support the VACA unit as a permanent unit. <br /> Si cerely, <br /> HJft. C~~C.~.1n, <br /> John Ashton, Social Worker <br /> <br />
