ABSTRACT
We often ask ourselves “What can we do to help our children in today’s world?” It becomes clear our mission is to provide a sense of safety, protection, hope and optimism amidst adversity. We have created a very complex world for children, often leaving them with its fear, its confusion, and its uncertainty. Our youth live in a world that broadcasts sniper attacks, terrorists’ threats, violent school shootings, sexuality, war, and gun-related issues as quickly as it takes to click the remote on their TVs or touch the mouse on their computers. The possibility of war, the risk of violence, the danger of biological harm, and the threat of nuclear destruction have become all too common. Our goal is to hold the vision for our children that they will not only make it through difficult times, but can actually become stronger and more resilient.
