Give Homeless Children a Hope, Projects of Caring for Street Children in the Towns part 3
Getting organized in a town
As contact is being made with the children by the street animator, three to four committed people willing to get something off the ground need to get together. Their first step is to identify the possible resources within the community and to communicate with these people and organisations with a view to calling a first meeting of concerned citizens. It should be made clear that the meeting is exploratory and that people do not commit themselves in any way by attending. Such resources could include the following:
- Child Welfare in the town and township;
- Two priests/ministers of religion (preferably belonging to a ministers’ fraternal) one in the town and the other in the township;
- A lower and higher primary school principal/teacher in the township;
