Re-settling the children is hard work....
Last week we were able to bring Faith back to her family, together with her 6 weeks old baby!! We love to help and take children in our home, but we even love it more to bring them back to their families!!!! Faith was brought via the Police, she is 15 years old and she was 5 months pregnant. She had not been living at home, with her family, for a while.. There were many issues to deal with and our social workers have been visiting the family several times, to prepare them for taking Faith back in. Last week was the big day, we were able to make a packet with some practical items, for her. Having now a little baby of 6 weeks old, to care for, makes a her extra vulnerable. Her uncle and his family welcomed her back in.. When we bring a child back to the village, we bring her back to the community... As soon as we arrived, a small crowd gathered and the baby went from hand to hand. It is the community that has to welcome her back as well. We will visit her from time to time...
