From Australia-
NOOSA community leaders have gathered to discuss how to address some of life's toughest challenges, including poverty and stressed-out children.
At a prayer breakfast hosted by the Anglican Church of Noosa in Tewantin last week, representatives from various community groups heard how the global financial crisis, crime and other issues were having an impact in the area.
Noosa chaplaincy chairman Warren Evans said in the past few years the number of people struggling financially in Noosa had risen dramatically, despite the area having a facade of wealth.
"There's a whole new era of poverty in the area that we didn't know about before," he said.
"The credit cards are absolutely maxed out."
