‘Our children need us to guide them, support and nurture them into responsible citizens’
“Dear Children, let your special day start with the blessings of our Heavenly Father so that you remain safe under his protection to be happy and spend an enjoyable day.
“Once again, because of the Covid-19 pandemic your day will be different, with the absence of festivities at your schools. This is an opportunity for you to reflect on your circumstances; what you want to achieve and how you will go about achieving them. It is also an opportunity for you to realise that things are changing worldwide and that decisions that adults made on our behalf may not make you happy (eg. Not going to school) but they are made with the best intention of you being protected. Therefore, as children, you need to protect yourselves from harm as well.
