Twenty one children between the ages of 7 and 13 have come every day after school for the last two weeks to participate in a 10-day crisis intervention program. The first week the children were involved in activities to learn more about HIV/AIDS, Christianity, and coping with the death of a loved one. The first two days found the children somewhat reserved about sharing their feelings and asking questions, but by Thursday’s session, the tears were beginning to flow and their questions were being asked.

Our hope is that the children will be able to come to a greater understanding of how to cope with these tender feelings inside of them, most of them resulting from the tragedies of child abuse and neglect, extreme sickness, and ultimately death, all of which are overtaking their community. We ask that you join us in praying that God will work through us to bring comfort and hope to these innocent children that are dealing with more than we can ever imagine and at such a young age.
