The National Office of Child and Family Services (NOCFS) presented a cheque worth over K65, 000 to the Catholic Bishops Conference (CBC) to assist with the welfare of children and families.
Acting Director for NCOFS, Jerry Wap commended the Catholic Church for their work in family well-being and child protection in the country.
He stated that where the government falls short in addressing issues of child welfare, the churches are there to assist.
“Child protection is everybody’s business; we say it’s everybody’s business because regardless of our age or sex, we are a member of a family.”
Wap reaffirmed the NOCFS commitment to the protection of children.
“As the Acting Director for the National Office of Child and Family Services, I want to promote the protection of children in the country.”
Vincent Sobo, Deputy National Catholic Education Secretary, thanked NCOFS for their support.
“We would like to sincerely thank the National Office of Child and Family Services for the cheque given to the National Catholic Family Life Commission, CBC.”
“What you have given to us is a great testament for silent majority families which the Catholic Church is supporting in our country today.”
He described the partnership between the government and the church as a way forward to restore the trust and peace in society.
“In the future we would like to continue to strengthen our partnership in collaboration with government, especially National Office Family Services to address social issues of Child and affecting our families and children in our society.”
He further emphasized the importance the family unit within a country.
“The family unite is the fundamental pillar for the country.”
“Without family, a country cannot exist. Everything in life begins with a family. We cannot fix a country without fixing our family.”
“Therefore, we must first and foremost address our issues at family level.”
“Today’s society is the reflection of our family background.”
