Re: Children of the streets
I applaude your caring vocation. I worked for many years, with the Adults, that were once homeless and poverty stricken as children. Not in a poor Country, but here in Britain. One thing these Men and Women held dear in their hearts was the little kindness and affections that were, meted out by people like yourselves. They never forgot, the hug, the smile, the words of affection,even from a stranger. As one young, woman said, "It kept me hoping, that one day, some way, there would be someone to love me". I never forgot those words. They also horrified me. She was so broken, when she was brought to us, but a little flicker of hope, remained in her heart. That little light was ignited by people like you, and she grew well and strong and found love. She is now married with three children, who will thankfully, never know rejection or true lonliness, like their mum. You are so needed. Thank you for the reminder. It is very easy to take the love and affection that has alway's surrounded me, for granted.
