When you were a Child, what was your answer to the following question....
What do you want to be when you grow up?
The Children or the Foundation dared to dream...
To have their own families, to be a cop, to help the community, are some of those dreams.
None of those dreams draw far from the harsh reality that surrounds them, and all of them are a reflexion that those children yearn bigger things for their lives they're not willing to give up on... despite their reality and because of it.
To help them work towards their dreams, we are propelled by a deep desire and will to provide them with the best tools possible to achieve those dreams... and none are more vital than those principles and values that will uphold them in life, not from the outside in, but from the inside out. With this in mind, we've been working on these precise matters this past month with every child who attends the Foundation.
This said, we cannot help those kids by focussing solely on their future. We must address their present to actually give them a fighting chance. This is why our campaign goes on in our effort to have all join us in being against Child Sexual Abuse... training, making people aware and giving them the tools to detect such abuse is our way of engaging this problematic. As part of our journey, we started a new group at the Bethlemitas School, where 230 students from first through third grade and their parents received the training. We include the parents, as we firmly believe them to play a key role in overcoming this devastating reality.
