成人快手

From Krish Kandiah, founding director of a national charity:
I love the sound of summer holidays. It always begins with Alice Cooper on repeat and my seven children joining in the chant: 鈥渟chools out for summer!鈥� Then I get ready to sit back to enjoy a couple of weeks listening to the buzz of chatter around a swimming pool, the dropping of ice cubes into fizzing lemonade, or the ripple of laughter of a family frisbee match as my birth and adopted children try to teach the latest fostered children how to throw and catch the flying disk.聽
My favourite sound in all the world is the laughter of children. It is a precious gift. Many of the kids who have joined our family have experienced such serious neglect and abuse that they have had very little reason, let alone opportunity, to relax, smile and enjoy their childhood. But the summer holidays bring many opportunities to elicit from them the sounds of healing joy. There can be shared subtle smiles as we play cards by the river or raucous unrestrained laughter as we engage in water pistol warfare, or a quiet chuckle in the car as Cliff Richard鈥檚 classic take on the summer holidays suggests 鈥淣o more worries for me and you 鈥� oo - oo鈥澛�
These summer soundtracks remind me of another song: ancient lyrics found in the Bible about the Almighty God who I believe rules transcendent over the sun and clouds, but also who also takes pleasure in caring for the lonely and needy: Sing to God, sing in praise of his name, extol him who rides on the cloud rejoice before him鈥攈is name is the Lord. A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.聽
God sets the lonely in families This song acknowledges the maladies of life 鈥� vulnerability, loneliness and loss and identifies family as a place where healing can happen. If God himself is not too important and powerful to have a particular interest in the well being of children in need, then I cannot excuse myself from this important task. For me, vulnerable children laughing as they experience the love and care of a family is the best sound of summer. It surely beats even Alice Cooper and Cliff Richard hands down!
