Poverty is the prime cause of the street children crisis. Children from well-off families do not need to work, or beg. They live in houses, eat well, go to school, and are likely to be healthy and emotionally secure. Poverty dumps a crowd of problems onto a child that's why here in ChildHope Philippines, we work to promote the welfare, uphold, and protect children’s rights, particularly children in street situations.

Like the bible says: It would be better to have a large millstone hung around his neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea then to cause harm to one of God’s children.

This is such a good one Anne-Lise. The picture really brings meaning to your words. These poor innocent little ones need to be cared for and protected. Good job and one that really touches the heart. God Bless, JB
