Many of us will always remember the people who loved and supported us as we grew up. In Viva’s programmes, staff emphasise how vital parents or other caregivers can be in shaping a child’s future. With the proper nurturing, encouragement and quality time, children will gain confidence in their potential, as well as understand that they have rights that should be protected.
Working with Community Albums, our Uganda network produced the following advert, which aired at the end of last year on two Uganda television networks for over four million viewers. Since then people from all over Uganda have called us to express how much they appreciated the message. Some shared how it was already making a positive impact in their communities as people started see the caregivers’ role in child care and protection.
But we believe that this message is not only for Uganda; it is for people everywhere to know that children are worth our time.
I plan to be in Uganda at the end of June through mid July. I would like to visit your office. Please give me a name, address and telephone number of someone with whom I could speak. I hope to connect a chain of children’s homes from Kampala to Juba, South Sudan and would like to work through your organization. Michael Hartle USA 724-463-1323
