Caring for Little Ones
The suffering of children produces an immediate heart cry in most people worldwide. When a child remains in need, not only is his present life but also his future subjected to heartache. Emotional trauma caused by suffering can gouge a deep scar in children, stunting their ability to give and receive love, and believe that they are precious creations with significant roles to play in their nations’ futures. A.L.E.R.T. (Acts of Love Emergency Response Team) staff and volunteers are able to train in-country partners in trauma counselling techniques specifically designed to help children express their feelings and heal from horrible emotional wounds of war violence or domestic abuse. GAiN comes alongside existing orphanages or group homes for children, helping to support them and the dedicated workers who raise them up. We are committed to helping to meet the needs of children and alleviate their suffering, and where possible, helping families to live in healthier community.
