This collection of autobiographical data represens a space of time shared with streetchildren, young prostitutes and other outcasts of society. In this book you will read the actual letters and notes, opiniated blogs, legal documentation, newspaper clippings, articles and find many songs that remind me of the most personal experiences whilst living with and caring for these people.
Die boek "Kinders van die wind" behels 12 jaar se navorsing oor sorgbehoewende kinders wat mishandel, misken en misbruik word. Van die hoofstukke in die boek is geskryf deur mede outeurs wat maatskaplike werkers, kinderhuisouers en kenners van die onderwerp is.
The information is supported by many researchers and confirmed by parents and children telling almost unreal stories of very distressing and terrible life changing experiences they endured. It is clear from this research the larger public has lost all trust in he current welfare system and in some of the non-governmental organisations.
I am hoping this book would unleash feverish discussion, and stimulate national debate and force investigations into irregularities concerning children. I trust these investigations would bring victory over injustice, empower the disadvantaged and the end result would contribute to hope and joy for all future children.
Kinders van die wind is my persoonlike getuienis van 'n God wat groot en goed is. Na 'n periode van skoei en skaaf aan my menswees het ek emmers vol genade ontvang en ervaar steeds die Here se liefde mildelik en onvoorwaardelik.
God is amazing.
