Children are like buds in a garden and should be carefully and lovingly nurtured, as they are the future of the nation and the citizens of tomorrow.
I love working with kids.
If great men would have care of little ones, both would last long.
A commonplace of political rhetoric has it that the quality of a civilization may be measured by how it cares for its elderly. Just as surely, the future of a society may be forecast by how it cares for its young.
Be gentle with the young.
Over a period of 11 months, I was constantly afraid that Youth Care would lock me up. It was all a frightening and traumatic experience. So often, these terrible memories come to me. I can't ignore them.
I have spent a lot of time with foster children over the years - kids for whom I have not necessarily acted as a foster parent.
What shocks me is that so many people leave care and become homeless, and when you're homeless you get into crime, prostitution and drugs, and it is a vicious circle. That's what we need to change.
I was put in White City children's home when I was 15.
I am a psycho therapist and I used to teach street children.
I've experienced first-hand the wonderful work organizations like J Bar J do for young people in Central Oregon and I am encouraged that the federal government is taking an active role in the Cascade Youth and Family Center.
I love helping kids.
I've always loved children. When I was working with children as a librarian, I loved being with them and working around them.
I'm into anything that really helps children.
