By Kekutah Jarrah:

Part 1: The problem

Part 2: What Solution can be done to save the children of Africa from the street?

One of the goals of this project will be to encourage orphans to remain in school and/or to provide educational opportunities on site including vocational and skills training for them. Positive Character is not something that a child is born with, it has to be taught, care and concern. With these bears in our minds for them, then they can know the worthy of their lives even thought their parents are aren’t alive or being abandon. For we know that Children are constantly learning. They learn when we sit down and teach them, and they learn by watching others. Every influence they are exposed to has an impact, whether they observe or being thought calmly.

It is never too late to start caring for those who though that they have lost all, because they are Orphans or HIV infected. No matter what the circumstances, or who is involved, everyone can benefit from The Peaceful Solution. Children and adults alike will see positive changes in their lives when the principles withinThe Peaceful Solution Character Education and Care Program are applied.

As adults are caring parents, we must apply these principles in our own lives now to begin to change the violence and the problems around us to peace, Unity and concern. Children are our future and they cannot be future respectful leaders if we do not cat now, by showing care and concern to the lives of the needy. What we teach them now is what they will build on.

It is so important to establish a foundation of moral excellence by teaching right from wrong and positive ways to deal with conflict in our lives. It is a given that every child born will face conflicts and have to make choices on a daily basis. If we can give them the tools they will need to be able to weigh their choices and choose to act in a positive manner, then they will have that foundation to be upright, moral citizens in the societies of tomorrow.
