Most children experience the most loving and secure childhoods possible. Unfortunately, some children do still suffer abuse. We have a full curriculum and support system, in school, to support children to grow up to be well-rounded and great members of their community. We do also have support for children, for whom this is not the case.
Growing up and reaching adulthood is usually a wondeful experience.
