Story Circles at Schools: Imagine parents coming together, not just to talk, but to truly listen and connect. Through personal stories, laughter, and heartfelt moments, we create a safe space for parents to share their lives and learn from one another. It's more than storytelling—it's building a community where every voice matters, and every experience teaches us something new. Together, we’re bridging gaps, breaking barriers, and strengthening relationships one story at a time. Because when parents grow, children thrive.

One night isn't a lot, but it can make a whole lot of difference. Every night, thousands of Australians experience homelessness. But it doesn't have to be that way.

For one night, he'll be sleeping outside as part of an eye-opening experience to raise awareness and bring home the realities of homelessness. To help break the devastating cycle of homelessness, your donation can really help. Will you help Phil reach his target?

🌟 A Powerful Reminder from Leon Guy 🌟 “I think sometimes people hesitate to help because they feel like their contribution won’t be enough. But the truth is, every small step matters. Every dollar, every item, every gesture adds up.” – Leon Guy, Facility Manager at Crossroads When you take that first step to help, no matter how small it seems, it makes a difference. 💖 🔹 Leon shared a story: someone came in and wanted to donate $10, unsure of how much it could really help. But that $10—added to others—becomes part of something much bigger. It could feed families, provide dignity to someone in need, or simply offer a moment of relief. “It's not about the size of the donation, it's about taking action. Every bit helps. And together, we create change.” At Crossroads, we see the direct impact of these small steps every day. The challenge may feel overwhelming, but every act of kindness makes a real difference. 🔹 Join us in taking that step. Whether it's a $10 donation or a few hours of your time, you can help create change. Together, we can make sure no one has to go without. https://lnkd.in/e5qDSd3S 👉 Donate today and be part of the solution.

I often feel sad about this situation. As a caregiver for child victims or witnesses, I really feel what these children feel. It's really not easy for child to face this situation. Physic & psychologic conditions are greatly affected and fluctuate along with the people around them who give various reactions: Encouraging/giving encouragement, or there are also people who bring them down. Indonesia has its own legal regulations for children in conflict with the law. Regulation No. 11/2012 about Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak (SPPA). However, it must be admitted that the implementation process is still complicated and requires time, learning, energy and sufficient finances. But situations like the film above continue to happen. The choice is, which side are we on, giving encouragement and it's side or bringing child down..?. We have to firm in child side as a victim or a witness for sure!
