“I wonder what the dozens of persons from Sandy Point, St. Kitts, who gathered at the launch to OPPOSE The Unique Touch Christian Centre – www.utccskn.org Save Our Sons Boy’s Home launch would say now, when yet another proud High School graduant has made it.” Those were the words of President of Dare 2 Be Different International (www.d2bdifferent.com) and co-pastor at The Unique Touch Christian Centre, - www.utccskn.org - Khrystus Wallace after he and a contingent from the church attended Kazan Stevens’ Verchilds High School Graduation.
Kazan Stevens is one of the many boys whose life the S.O.S Home has touched over the years. This home that falls under the church caters to at risk boys and aims to change their mindset and behavioral problems by changing their environment to that of a Christian Based Setting.
Pastor Clive and First Lady Saunders attended the graduation event and were proud, yet humbled and kept on smiling as Kazan received his certificate marking the completion of his High School career.
For Pastor Saunders, the Don’t Tap Out Pastor, it was probably sheer joy indeed.
“Don’t bring criminals into our community!” That was one of the very demeaning statements shouted outside the launch of the S.O.S Home years ago. To date, the home has added several positive products back into society. Carlos Whyte, who was once a resident at the home, having been placed there under Court Order, has grown into a healthy young man and is now a member of The Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force. Carlos who was once in trouble with the LAW, is working to encourage young men not to follow in his path especially since he is now employed by Government’s TOP enforcement Body.
This is what the church has done boasted Khrystus Wallace. We don’t give up on our YOUTH.
Visionary Saunders has a dream of building the Save Our Sons Complex and solicits local and international help. He sees this as a NEED because many of these AT RISK boys are just thrown into prison like hardened criminals when they can be helped, just like Kazan, just like Carlos and many others who’ve been impacted.
"I want to see Kazan and Carlos further their education, whether technical or vocational at some international college. Thus, I am calling on the WORLD to chip in and help. Let's not leave them where they are, let us further encourage and motivate them to keep climbing the ladder. I am calling on Dare 2 Be Different's international ministry internet followers to consider funding further education for these young men. We want their pictures on the wall of our S.O.S home to motivate the other at risk boys we will impact in the future. We want their pictures to show the others that they too can achieve! We're waiting on you to contact and pledge your help." Wallace closed with those comments.
