Massage Sanctuary at the 2011 Canadian Massage Conference

http://liddlekidz.org http://massagewarehouse.com http://canadianmassageconference.com http://massagenerd.com Children in orphanages around the world may have food, clothing and shelter, but often they lack an essential ingredient for basic health and happiness—touch. Without it, children often feel discarded, forgotten and even untouchable, especially when their circumstances are complicated by being sick or having a disability.

Orphans have many physical needs, and because these needs are the most immediate, they are the most urgent. However, children have significant emotional needs as well. Experience has shown that orphanages find it a challenge to meet the emotional and developmental needs of children, including personalized care and attention.

Vietnamese OrphansChildren who are resilient typically have a number of characteristics that make this possible. These characteristics include having a sense of purpose in life, confidence in one's ability to control any given situation, compassion for others, a belief in the fundamental goodness of people, and the energy and resourcefulness to make things happen.

The Liddle Kidz™ Foundation Global programs directly nurture two of these important characteristics; compassion for others and the belief in the fundamental goodness of people. Our programs support children and their caregivers, so that each child has the chance to reach their full potential.
