12.01.2022 In 2006 I was involved in a similar tragedy, out of that birthed some great young leaders and community-based initiatives. Community-Led solutions is the way, not criminalised responses! After any crises/tragedy is the long yards- the hard yards- this is the recovery phase. ... This is why we do what we do, to intervene, impact, inspire, influence the young hearts and minds of our young people before they become fixed (bots). Charis Mentoring is part of the wider collective and leading the change, ultimately we want all our children to thrive and enjoy life! We are the cultural intervention! Always and will be All Glory To God!
