Personal stories

Every child that passes through our schools and Restart Centre has a story. Here are just a few that will help show what motivates us to help all we can. Click on each child's photo to read their story,

In The Words of Our Children

Click to read the poem

In civilised western nations incidences involving child deprivation or abuse are rightly the source of public outrage. It is perhaps hard to conceive of places where such circumstances are the reality of daily life. So the children who arrive in our schools all have a story to tell but all have the spirit to accept help, enjoy the company of others and to learn to look forward. It is immensely satisfying for all who work or contribute to the running of our schools to see the potential of each child realised.

Enjoy some of their incredible talents!
