Christians care for orphans and children without parental care in different forms. However, in the Global South, care is primarily provided in orphanages or large residential settings. Despite good intentions, there are limitations to provide a nurturing family environment for the children in such care environment. With current knowledge of alternative child care and in light of the holistic ministry, this article suggests an approach for the church to care for orphans and children at risk by focusing on the family and the local community. Additionally, simple steps to transition to holistic orphan care are offered.

Introduction: The escalation of HIV/AIDS infections in the last decade has increased the need for palliative care community organizations to care for orphans and vulnerable children, who are in dire need of support. Many of these organizations depend on the services of lay community health workers to provide constant care to those in need of it in their local communities. The focus of this study is to explore the role of lay health workers in a community organization located in rural Bronkhorstspruit, Gauteng Province of South Africa. That provides palliative care for orphans and vulnerable children diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. Their roles were analysed critically through a job-demands and job-resources theoretical framework.Methods: A descriptive phenomenological case study design was employed to collect data through twenty five individual interviews, two separate focus groups consisting of ten participants in one group and eleven participants in the other group, observations and document analysis. Data were processed through a rigorous thematic analysis.Results: The findings pointed out specific knowledge and skills these lay community health workers needed in order to be satisfied with, and successful in, their administration of palliative care to orphans and vulnerable children. Participants identified the following organizational challenges that were deemed to be impacting negatively on their work experiences: the lack of career pathing processes; sufficient career guidance; and inadequate employment processes, such as staff retention, succession planning, and promotion.Conclusion: Through the findings, a framework for enhancing the work experiences of the lay community health workers was developed. The uniqueness of this framework is that the focus is on improving the work lives of the lay community health workers, who have serious skills-resourcing needs. There were specific concrete strategies that the organization could adopt to support the knowledge and skills requirements of the lay community health workers in relation to the needs and challenges that will enhance their efficiency in the palliative care environment. The findings and framework that emanated from this study could be used to support lay community health workers in their respective organizations to be more effective in the support they provide to orphans and vulnerable children. Because South Africa is afflicted by the HIV/AIDS epidemic, this framework can be used in similar organizations that are working with lay community health workers with skill-resourcing needs not only in the health sector, but also in other sectors, such as in education and agriculture.

Abstract Basically, corruption has a bad impact on the whole joints of human life. Corruption is one of the major causal factors of justice and prosperity of a nation. Corruption also adversely affects the economic system, democracy system, political system, legal system, governmental system, and societal order. No less important corruption can also degrade a nation in international governance. Therefore, we should put corruption as a common enemy that we have to fight together because of its extraordinary nature, then to combat or eradicate corruption is needed extraordinary effort anyway. The effort to eradicate corruption is not at all an easy job. The eradicating corruption effort can not only be the responsibility of law enforcement institutions or government only, but also a responsibility with all the components of the nation. Therefore, the efforts to eradicate corruption should involve all stakeholders that are related, namely government, private and community. It is in this context that students, as one of the important parts of the community, are expected to be active. earnestly. The important contribution of students in the prevention of corruption can not be released from the characteristics they possess, namely: intellectuality, Young Soul, and idealism. Student involvement in the anti-corruption movement can essentially be differentiated into four regions, namely: in the family environment, in the campus environment, in the local community, and at the regional or national level.

Parents totally have crucial role on growing up the character education in family life. From parents, the children learn the way of respecting others, loving to the diversity, respecting differences in point of view and being humble. The Catholic family is a “ecclesia domestica” (family church), the smallest part of the church. Therefore, it is not only a place of the growth and development of the Catholic faith, but also a place of strengthening the values ​​of love according to Jesus ways the eternal Teacher. Character education grows in a family life. From and within the family environment, children learn ethical values, manners, and things that are not desirable in the social environment. Along the times, the challenges of families in educating children increasingly grave. The technology advances have disrupted many dimensions of life, including the warmth in a family life.

The author draws up certain hypotheses on the social conditioning of priestly and religious vocations in Poland, on the basis of a survey realized in 1962. The survey shows the influence of the family, the social valorisation of the priestly life and the influence of priests, as factors favorable to the nurturing of priestly vocations. On the other hand the pattern of the priestly role, the renouncing of that which is socially valorised are negative factors in certain social environments. A new motivation appears in the social classes where the need for promotion is no longer imperative, linking the religious need to the perfection of the person. Such facts lead to a questionning of the way religion is inserted in society. In a second part, the author tries to understand the reasons for the disproportion noted between the large number of those who desire to enter the seminary and the actual number of candidates. The favorable factors (family environment, in fluence of priests) are neutralised by the attraction of a social success and especially by the image of the Church which perpetuates out-dated patterns of religiosity. The religious appears as peripheral and secondary in society because of the practice of the Church.
