The Children at Risk school is designed for those who want to become advocates for children and work to see lasting change in their lives. The focus is on children who have been placed at risk because of factors such as war, disease, poverty, exploitation, abandonment, disability, and other forms of injustice. Students are given an overview of the needs of at risk children as well insight concerning child development. An emphasis is made on intervention and working towards advocacy for children.
Today, all over the world, children face risks we cannot imagine. Children are the most vulnerable group in any society. The Lecture Phase is twelve weeks which provide you with the opportunity to grow and learn in many ways. It includes class lectures, small group discussions, assignments, worship and prayer times, evangelism, community life, practical work duties and much more. Specific instruction is provided on issues relating to them such as HIV and AIDS, counselling, evangelism, God’s nature and character as mother and father, and other such topics allowing us to be advocates and see lasting change and true transformation in these children’s lives.
“Learn to do right. Seek justice, encourage the oppressed, defend the cause of the fatherless, plead for the case of the widow.”
Isaiah 1:17
After the lecture phase 5 April- 26 june we will have an optional but highly recommended three month outreach phase. This outreach will go to South Africa. The aim is to give you the possibility to stay on location after this period for your potential internship.
