Recently, someone asked me what our children do with their days; what do they do at home or in school; what type of activities do they participate in. I thought I would write about these things.
Our children live either in our CBSM home/school facilities and are fully under our care, or, they live in alternative homes. We try to find alternative homes as much as possible for our children; family life is important for young children. Yet, in some cases the children are subjected to conditions that are not good. We can tell that is the case by changes in their behaviour, and then we move the child back into our home/school compound.

The children who do not live at the CBSM children’s home, and this is the majority of our children, walk various distances to school each day. Some are fortunate and live very close to the school. Some live very far away, approximately five to ten kilometres away.
