The Message within the Project - To protect, nurture and develop our Youth &
make the world a better place for the next generation
Suicide among young people, homeless children, child abuse and neglect, out of control/anti-social, destructive behavior and lifestyles are increasing at an alarming rate! Just think:
· Suicide is the second most common cause of death among young men in the Western world (psychology.org.au)
· Self harm is the highest cause of hospital admissions for young girls 13 to 19
· 70% of males and 50% of females have viewed porn more than once by the age of 12 (Sauers survey)
· 4 young Australians die each week due to alcohol related injuries (ABS)
Our generation needs to start taking responsibility, make a stand and do something!!! If we don’t, who will? What is the legacy we are leaving our children and our children’s children? I personally don’t think we will be able to lay blame elsewhere if things spiral even further and we haven’t done or said anything — can we??????
That’s why getting the message out is so important.
All proceeds from the sale of the CD set goes to 3 organisations who work to make a difference.
COMPASSION AUSTRALIA - Advocating on behalf of children here and overseas, helping to arrange sponsorship of orphans and underprivileged children around the world, and so much more.
FATHER RILEY's YOUTH OFF THE STREETS - Picking up the pieces when the system fails them, Father Riley and his team help rebuild hope in lives and encourage young people to reach their potential in very practical ways.
The AUSTRALIAN CHRISTIAN LOBBY - working to promote the “best interests of the child” as the basis on which relevant legislation is considered— as well as strategically helping in areas of homelessness, poverty and others.
All deserving groups and needing assistance to continue their great work

Hmmmm..... Car accidents are the most common cause of death. Why not campaign to do something about that? Similarly, quoting percentages without showing that overall numbers of deaths for young children have been trending down for a long time is a form of lying.
