Sharon and I profoundly believe that there is nothing in this world more precious than children. Their happiness is vital to that of society as a whole, and it is important that they be given their rightful place among us. As adults, it is our duty to offer them the love, resources and support they need to grow, thrive and reach their full potential. When we care for our youth, they in turn will grow into smart and caring citizens.
