Research has shown that children who feel that they matter, become more resilient. The kids we work with in Sweetwaters face more than a fair share of challenges, so it's essential that they be able to "bounce back" and overcome setbacks. Life groups add colour, fun and friends to their lives, and is a safe place where all the kids feel welcome and loved. Their mentor is there, fully focused and present - commenting on this one's lego creation, that one's good catch, the little boy's scraped knee. They know they matter. That's why they keep coming back.
