An Angel Helping To Mend Broken Hearts.

MRS CAINES AND A PUPIL DURING COUNSELLING.
Arlene Caines has been partnering with both secondary and primary schools within the Laventille area for the past five years helping students cope with trauma. Today I accompanied her to St Barbs primary school,where students freely opened up about their life experiences.

 I had the opportunity to listen to some of the most horrific and heart wrenching stories experienced by these young children. While students confided in her , she in turn was able to encourage and be a source of light in their lives.



 After today's session, an emotional Mrs Caines was almost moved to tears as she felt overwhelmed. She went as far as to question whether or not her  efforts were making a difference.

MS CAINES AND A PUPIL DURING COUNSELLING.
Being a resident of Laventile myself, I've seen the harmful effects of not having an outlet.  And so, I believe that though it may seem hopeless, because of her love and selflessness, these children are provided with an opportunity to open up, receive advice and feel loved which is essential in the process of healing.


 Therefore, I say "Hats off" to Mrs Caines, an extraordinary woman doing extraordinary things to uplift the youths of Laventille.

    Wow that was beautiful. It's great to see someone contributing in such an amazing way to children who need it. I hope this doesn't take it's toll on her in the long run. I'm sure this makes a real difference in a lot of these children.

    I'm so moved. This is really touching. It's crazy the things that these children have to experience at a young age, but I'm glad that she doing what she's doing, its really important. Hats off to her, definitely an Angel.

    Outstanding woman, with a heart of Gold, may God bless her. These are the things that are needed, its sad that she questions whether she's making a difference. Very beautiful.
