Yeah, we can only hope that bullying will not find a home in the next generation. I Africa that will be nigh impossible. The guys kill their wives over here in front of their children and trauma is rife.
That's why we run the free trauma training project for child workers.

Good idea about the bag. My youngest daughter is in some form of modern boxing training, not for boxing as it is fitness classes. She says it is called exercise boxing. Never watched it, but I suppose it is some sort of shadow boxing.

It is a hard road for a child to come back from. "Parents" have a lot to answer for in many ways.

Then of course there are also "missing" parents my friend.
5 kids left with a granny to raise. Many child headed households also over here.
Of course not to speak about the thousands of orphans.

Yep, it is a sad state of affairs and speaks of one of the legacies left by poverty

Poverty resulting mainly from apartheid my friend.
It will take generations to sort this country out with its mega problems!

I wonder how much poverty in the world actually exists because there is no other way - I suspect, zero.
