Part 2 of 2 on my series on Responsive Parenting: In much of the developing world, kids don't get the love, care, attention and stimulation they need from their parents in their crucial early years of life. Mom and dad are far too busy with the tasks and chores of farming, cooking, fetching water or earning a livelihood, all of which take exponentially more time and energy here. Cultural norms are also a factor. Add a crisis into the mix and children could be nearly on their own.
.
Siaya County, Kenya, was devastated during the AIDS crisis of the early 2000's, and still is among the top five counties affected by the disease. As a result of the staggering death toll, many orphaned children grew up with distant relatives or community members. Parental norms and cultural cohesion were shattered. @ChildFund 's Nurturing Care program is working with parents and caregivers to encourage responsiveness in their care, foster their early development and be intentional in their love and affection towards the children they raise.
.
This week I'm making a short documentary video on @ChildFund 's Nurturing Care program, which is funded by the Conrad Hilton Foundation.

Reposted from @childfund - The first day of school is an enormous milestone in a child's life. Because of the COVID-19 crisis, 140 million kids around the world are still waiting to experience it. Read the report from @unicef at the link in our bio.

Spent the day with a hardworking mom named Florence. "Children are a gift from God," she says, "but I pray to God that John will be my last."

It was another day of wandering through northern Uganda's Labwor Hills. Today I picked out which one to climb before I head back to the US. #uganda🇺🇬
