“SAVE THE CHILDREN” – Fabian Hakalits
The Mount Hagen Catholic Archdiocese is fast moving towards the setting up of a family home for neglected children.
The planning meeting, led by Archbishop Douglas Young and attended by experienced people active in social work, family life ministry and health services, created few guidelines to respond to the deteriorating situation.
The meeting discussed five main elements of social change believed to be responsible for the current abandonment of children: parents contracting or dying of HIV and Aids, marriage break ups, urban drift, unemployment and intercultural marriages.
Society’s rejection of orphans is quite alarming. Archbishop Douglas strongly stressed the importance of working together with government and non-government organisations that promote child rights and welfare.
