A Hand Up - A Touch of Hope

By Mark Brown, The Colajean Institute Ltd., Mark Brown

Mark Brown, among many other successful former wards-of-the-state, is a proud product of The Bahamas Ministry of Social Services Child-Care Programmes. A former resident of The Children's Emergency Hostel from his infancy, Mr. Brown along with his twin brother, Matthew Brown, remained as wards-of -the-state throughout their entire childhoods. Being twin, it was difficult for social workers to place them in a foster home because it required the adoption or fostering of two children instead of one. Most families only wanted one child. This caused much pain for the twins because they saw other children being adopted, while they stayed as wards-of-the-state for their childhoods.
