As an aftercare visit, we went to the Tallahassee Museum. Our goal for the children is creating memories, and this was a learning experience for them, too. Even the adults found out that grey foxes reside in trees. That must be how they always get away from the hunters. Although the smallest bonding visit our families participated in, everything went well and the children were able to enjoy their father's company. Of course it's great to see through the lenses of children and the reaction from their fathers and mothers. Seeing the compassion on faces of volunteers and staff is priceless. As the children left in single file--it was an opportunity to feel great about why we do what we do and to receive hugs and thank you's. We expect another successful year for this program. Our intention is to keep you posted as the stats are researched for these visits.
Eight bonding visits later escorting children of incarcerated parents into Wakulla Annex and Main Unit, Living Stones celebrates its 1st Anniversary for the program, August 16, 2013. It has been such a pleasure to see the children growing, meeting the challenge of school and FCATS, as well as boding with their incarcerated parent, and now and then getting to have fun.
