In Africa it takes a whole village to raise a child however in this ministry’s period of history we have been characterized with a poverty of relationships and this is the blight which militates against our parental function as a redemptive social organism to the children of Africa. It is needless, to mention the domestic violence, child pregnancies and defilement, rape, child labour, HIV AIDS aff
ected and infected children with their care takers, to mention but a few. We urgently need to form support relationships with growth facilitators in the development of the African child. We desperately need relationships with spiritual and socio-economic obstetricians aiding us in the birth of new hope and life in a continent plagued by HIV AIDS, abject poverty, war violence and corruption. May we remember that the cause of making the world a better place for the children, this cause in its infiniteness, remains the most tangible harvest of the human will to survive.
