Having been involved in Child Protection for almost half of my life, I have by personal and field experiences, study and research come to the irresistible conclusion that bringing a child to this world is far less important than what the society, beginning from the parents/guardians plan to make of the child.
Since, I came to this conclusion, I no longer rejoice ordinarily when I hear that a child is born. I only rejoice if I know that the parents and society are deliberately equipped to give the child a future and a hope through proper training.
Every child needs SOMEONE to BELIEVE- A Role Model
Every child needs SOMETHING to BELIEVE – Values
Every child needs SOMEWHERE to BELONG-Family& Community
Every child needs SOMETHING to BECOME- Aspiration to Significance and Pursuit of Inner Potential
Every child needs the AFFIRMATION of his FREEDOM and RESPONSIBILITY- A sense of dignity and self-worth
