Children in Conflict with the Law

On August 29, 2014, the Council for protection of Children held a Getting-to-know you and Spiritual Enhancement Session to the Children in Conflict with the Law facilitated by International Students of Xavier University and the City Social Welfare and Development Office. The main activity of the session is the sharing of experiences where family, education, friendship and dreams transpired. 

Most of the participants came from broken families or their parents were even the one who put them in dangerous situations. Some of them have no parents at all. 

Aside from their family, one thing that they treasure the most has become a concern: friendship. 

Though they belong to a certain group and they have what they call friends, there have been trust issues going on. But beyond the problems of family and friends, these young people has dreams; a dream to finish school, to work, to be of help to the family, and to be able to support themselves.

As youth with the capacity to give tremendous help, let us continue to explore venues where we can make our skills create social value and impact the lives of our brothers and sisters who needs us most
