Let’s protect the family and save society

Mrs Theodora Jackson, a board member of SOS Children Village Ghana, has called for the strengthening of the family unit in order to preserve cultural values that define the Ghanaian society.

“Families continue to suffer as a result of the changing social and economic structures. We need to make a conscious effort to save the family.”

Mrs Jackson was speaking to the Ghana News Agency on the rationale for the celebration of the international day of families, observed on every May 15.

“We are all born into families and spend the most important development years with our families. Sad to say, most children lose this opportunity and become abandoned, destitute or orphaned.

She said, “At SOS, our core belief is that every child belongs to a family, grows up with love, respect and security.

It is against this background that we recognise this day as important in creating awareness on the need to preserve the family bond and also restore hope and dignity to the less privileged children.”

SOS, a social development organisation celebrated the international day of families in Kumasi on the theme,” Quality education for sustainable future”.
