Addressing a fun day at 8-Mile
settlement to mark International Children’s Day yesterday, World Vision
representative Delphine Nuia also reminded parents that children must be valued
and have a good childhood so that they could grow into responsible
adults.
“In order for a child to live a
happy life free from violence and abuse, all adults should respect these rights
and ensure these rights are not abused,” she said.
To the children, Nuia said: “You
also have responsibilities to go along with those rights; you have the right to
go to school and your responsibility is to study hard, attend classes and do
your homework everyday.”
Also joining the fun day were
children from the 2-Mile and Garden Hills
settlements.
Great efforts of world vision & other similar organizations I aplaud for your efforts into settlement communities and the rural outbacks. I believe these are where the future of this country whether for good or bad holds and yet the government continues to act blindly and deny, if not use rural development as a scape goat to achieve own interests and not the rural peoples common interest. Rich getting richer & the poor getting poorer. Oh how can this be stopped...... mpey10
