most little children are not just being ignorance or lacking some knowledge but that their parent do not have enough time for them and as a result of this, are subjected to different abuse and which therefore affect them as they grow. may government should be more committed to assisting upcoming groups who are interested in children ministry but have not the requirement to meet with their basis.
