Please see statement from the Alliance for Change
The Alliance For Change is deeply saddened at the heinous killing of six-year-old Orlando Jaikaran. This crime is of the most vile and gruesome nature.
It is the responsibility and duty of all adults to provide a safe and nurturing environment where every child can reach their full potential to contribute positively to the development of our country. Every child deserves to be loved, cared for and protected.
As a nation, we must examine where we went wrong when the arms that should protect a child become the very arms that inflict death. It is difficult to understand how an adult can look into the innocent, trusting eyes of a child and kill that child.
Within the past few months, our nation has had to mourn the death of so many of our children. We call on all leaders, especially religious leaders, to play a more engaging role in guiding the moral revival of our nation. In this era when our national wealth is increasing exponentially, it is important that we do not lose our humanity.
The Alliance For Change proposes a national day to remember our children whose lives were cut short under tragic circumstances. Let their names and their lives be remembered. Let us show the world, the lives of all our children matter.
