“Don’t let abuse be your child’s story: Make a change. End child abuse”

The Child Development Division within the Ministry of National Mobilisation, etc. will be observing the annual Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month from April 1 – 30, 2024. This is in keeping with St. Vincent and the Grenadines' commitment to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. The theme chosen for this year is “ Don’t let abuse be your child’s story: Make a change. End child abuse ” with a focus on child neglect and abandonment. This theme addresses our goals of informing parents of their tremendous power to prevent child abuse; to educate and increase awareness in homes, schools, and communities as we use positive promotional activities geared towards strengthening families and fostering a network between the Ministry, the Police and Communities. As part of the month’s activities, churches are invited to commemorate “ Blue Sundays .” This is an annual event where churches of all faiths are asked to pray for the victims of child abuse and to demonstrate

Saving Grace!

I will keep you in my heart oh God,
For all the love you have given to me,
For your gentle ways and your kindness is greater than I ever dreamed
You never failed on your promises; all your words you fulfill in time,
The seasons know when they shall be
So keep me in your perfect peace and cause my thoughts to shine,
In the knowledge of your wondrous works; while my soul sings that you are mine 
My everything will reflect on your beauty, Oh Lord you are my saving Grace!

Can't keep my eyes off you, oh Father
You know I need you to tell me what to do 
The times we're living in foster the fondest memories of what we've shared thus far
All I need is to know that you'll forever lead me in the paths of your righteous way, 
My thirst longs for your still waters; please Abba quench this lack prolonged from days past in the hour of severity today.

Your lamp will guide me daily, oh King
Your light it shines continously on the path before me
I think I've found myself a keeper, a God I cannot live without;
Merciful Conqueror when you ride out into battle, our fight you always win
You are my strongest guide, Oh Lord you are THE GREATEST  KING!
