    A picture is worth a thousand words. Here we have a picture with words. Behind both are people with a message.

    Children are our greatest investment worthy of our time, and money. They are this generation and represent the world of the future. It is difficult to understand how we have come to this time in history when the abuse of children has become so wide spread.

    An effort must be made to impart to our children an understanding of their worth. Then we must fight back against abuse. It is encouraging to see people doing these things.

    Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Evangelist.
