Innocence lost?

There're lots of children in the world who have been orphaned for various reasons.

Everyday 5760 children in the world become orphans. Every year over 2 million children become orphans in Africa alone. But the real threat is, still every year over 14 million children grow up as orphans & they age out without being adopted by anyone. In Ukraine & Russia 10% - 15% of children who age out of an orphanage commit suicide before 18. 60% of the girls are lured into prostitution & 70% of the boys become hardened criminals.

Have we thought about these children? Do we help them out, other than with just a meal or with some clothes?

Forget about the orphans in the entire world. Try to help out the ones in your community. You have valuable knowledge that you can share with them. You may have good contacts, through which you can find suitable schools or jobs for these kids, etc.

Imagine growing up in this world knowing that your parents don't want you. They left you in an orphanage. There's no one to love you, hold you when you cry & say everything is going to be ok, listen to your stories, etc. Can we really blame them when they start hating the society? When they start stealing food just to stay alive? Can we really judge these girls who choose the path of prostitution since they have nothing else to sell other than their own bodies?

Be a hero to a child that only God loves.
