Saving the Souls of
Child Brides
Summary:
Saving the Souls of Child Brides author, Katey
Hearth, discusses in her intense article of the drastic increase in child marriages
internationally, but mentions specifically the prevalence in Guatemala. Hearth
brings fourth children an opportunity to be rescued, safe, and offers them opportunity
for their future. Such reference is to the Kids Alive International Oasis
Center is located in Canada. This group of incredible people spread awareness
on prevalence of child brides as well as the subsequent mortality rates. They
give children at risk or those rescued trauma counseling, safe location, abuse counseling, and education on how to balance pregnancy with school. Hearth, who
is an extreme advocate for such programs, says it is a great program and they
have seen vast improvement in the children.
Analysis:
As with many programs I have found and researched,
it seems this is one of the better programs. It allows for a multidimensional
support system for these girls who may not other have any. Offering counseling
and providing a safe location and outlet is a huge step in making a child okay
again.
