What you do by giving? When you give, you generate hope. And in so doing, you not only give but also receive. You receive a place in the heart of a child that he or she will carry for the rest of its life. You also become part of a network that is actively engaged in bringing hope where there is very little or none at all. You contribute to sustaining the Centre for Culture and the Arts in a major shanty town, that, through its programme ‘Art in situations of Conflict’, has transformed the lives of hundreds of children since its foundation in 1990, providing them with alternatives to violence, drugs, crime and social and collective anonymity. You help vulnerable children become empowered so that they may become protagonists for peace, symbols and agents of transformation in their own families and in their own communities. You help maintain the retreat centre, ‘City Of The Angels’, in the country where children from the shanty towns can experience the power of nature to heal the wounds inflicted on them by injustice and abandonment.
A message from the children Once upon a time, there were two children skating on a frozen lake. All was bright and joyful till suddenly, the ice broke and one of them fell between the cracks into the frozen water. The other, seeing that his companion was going to drown, took a stone and pounded with all his might till he opened a hole big enough to pull his friend out. Some adults passing by, saw the scene and were amazed that one young boy had managed to save his friend in such a courageous and self-less way. ‘How did you do it,’ one of them asked. ‘I don’t know’, replied the child. ‘I just did it. He was my friend’. ‘I know how he did it’, said one of the adults present, a wise old man of the place. ‘How’? They all asked ‘There was no one near enough to tell him that it was impossible’. Many of our children’s lives are broken because no one believes in them. Because through situations of violence, poverty, and lack of opportunity, their dreams are crushed. The world tells them that it is impossible. And the world of the impossible is made up more often than not, of you and me. If you want to, you can change that now by giving something to this cause which surely must be one of the noblest of all. Wasn’t it Christ who said; ‘what you do to and for the least of these little ones, you do unto me’
