"This book is an expression of true feeling and thoughts through Poetry & Prose. It portrays the world of Child Abuse, the forced silence & inner one too. It goes through the range of emotions dealing with the consequences and aftermath of Abuse not least through the effects later in life with Mental instability & illness. It is a true, accurate and completely honest portrayal of the suffering & injustice but also of the hope too. And just like my real life story. I hope that the love contained within these pages are not too hidden from you as you turn them, but most importantly of all... when you finish the last one."

'Raising Awareness of Child Abuse and its Consequences in Later life'
I was born in 1970 and raised in Devon. I moved to Hampshire just before my eleventh birthday. When I left school I eventually worked in the building trade, and after many years started my own business. I did this for a few years but in the end ill health forced me to stop. Then, not long after, I had a break down ending up in one of my first stays in hospital. Afterwards I became aware of a child hood I didn't know about (through having what I later found out was a mental block). I didn't receive the help I should have from the health service sadly, and after years of this I started to complain and then campaign on child abuse awareness issues. Amongst all this I started to write again, having stopped for years, and in 2010 I published my first book 'Whispers From Within'. I've been on the radio with my poetry and the issues above. Much of my poetry raises awareness of child abuse and its consequences in later life. Something I obviously feel very strongly about. I've been published a few times, read my poetry to the public (including at two anti child abuse rallies held in London in both 2009 and 2010), I'm trying to add to this all the time. I'm now also well on my way to my second book. You can find out more about me via my websites ( http://www.Bsafe1stalways.com & http://www.thepoetjohn.com ), via my online videos on YouTube, or even better from my first book 'Whispers From Within'. Above all: I'm a survivor of all types of Child Abuse, surviving the system and... with others trying to expose failings, so at least some good may come from it all. All I do is try and make sure that... it's not all for nothing, and that's a brief insight into me.

Christianah Fate Foundation Volunteers after The Free Child Workshop on 4th December 2011.We were able to educate parents and teachers on the menace of child sexual abuse - a silent epidemic. I am in the middle!
ØChild Sexual Abuse – A Handbook for Children (8+) Written by Christianah Akindolie (Founder/Project Coordinator CFF).
ØThe book is sold at different locations in Nigeria, US and the UK.
PREVENTING CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE THROUGH EDUCATION
AN INITIATIVE OF CHRISTIANAH FATE FOUNDATION - NIGERIA
Despite the paucity of data about the growing incidence of Child Sexual Abuse in Nigeria, it is very apparent that it is growing at an alarming rate. A cursory look at the newspapers and discussions with Police officers confirms this. CSA, in Nigeria, is an epidemic that has refused to go despite efforts made by Government, Non-Governmental Organization, and individuals.
Unfortunately, majority of the child victims of Child Sexual Abuse are abused by Paedophiles who the children love, trust and live with. The need to intervene in this situation through education of vulnerable children and parents has become an imperative. The vehicle developed to carry this out is THE FREE CHILD WORKSHOP.
THE FREE CHILD WORKSHOP
With a slogan, EDUCATE A PARENT: SECURE THE DESTINY OF THREE CHILDREN, the objective of the workshop is to create awareness and educate communities within Lagos environs on the existence of the crime - CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE. This approach is driven by the fact that education is an important key to preventing child sexual abuse. The workshop is organised separately for Parents, Children, Teachers, The Clergy and Caregivers. Some of the workshop themes include, Child Sexual abuse – A Hidden Epidemic, The Medical implications of CSA, The Legal Rights of an Abused Child, Keeping our children safe on the Internet. The Workshop has been held mostly in churches and schools. Letters were also sent out to solicit for speaking opportunities. These have met with mixed successes with several negative responses as well as significant positive acceptance.
Since the workshop started in 2010, over 3,000 parents and 2,000 children have been impacted. This Workshop has therefore protected over 12,000 children from child sexual abuse. Through the workshop, parents who are ignorant of CSA are now well-informed and better equipped to recognize the signs of CSA, who can abuse a child, the short and long term effects of CSA. In addition, parents have learnt how to react when the inevitable happens and where to seek help. This workshop has been supported by articles in the newspapers, pamphlets as well as interviews on the television.
In addition, a book titled; Child Sexual Abuse – A Handbook for Children, has also been published. The book, written in simple language with colourful, child-friendly pictures, also has activity sessions that has helped thousands of children in Nigeria identify what child sexual abuse is, who can abuse them, where they can be abused, how to know a potential abuser, how to get help when abused and other relevant information. The book has created a bond between parents and children because they now have the opportunity to ask questions they would not have ordinarily asked. Through the book, a mother discovered her child was being sexually abused by a close relative.
OUR PLANS FOR 2012
In 2012, we will launch flyers and posters tagged – Protect. Educate. Prevent (PEP)
The object of these medium is to protect children from CSA by educating them on 10 smart rules they need to follow that will help protect them from being abused. Posters will be pasted in school, churches and homes. The flyers will be distributed to children in different parts of Lagos-Nigeria.
We have a target to educate and create awareness to at least 10,000 parents, teachers and children on the menace of child sexual abuse. This will be achieved through speaking to parents in churches, communities and at different forum. School and Church teachers will also be trained through The Free Child Workshop. We will also visit schools to educate the children too.
We are registered delegates and exhibitor to the Child Sexual Abuse Conference organized by African Network for the Prevention and Protection Against Child Abuse and Neglect (APPCAN) taking place in Ghana. Attending this conference will enable us Partner with other NGOs and Government agencies that will be interested in our vision.
The publishing of the second book written by the Founder/Project Coordinator – Christianah Akindolie is on-going. We hope to present the eleven chapter book titled – CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE – A HANDBOOKF OR PARENTS to the public by the first quarter of 2012. Through the book, parents will have basic knowledge of what child sexual abuse is. The top attraction is the real life stories in each chapter. Parents should look at for quality, good delivery, good packaging and basic knowledge of child sexual abuse.
In CFF, we believe that Prevention is better than cure.

Best-Selling Author Peter Thomas Senese Releases Highly Awaited 'Chasing The Cyclone' Exclusively On Amazon In E-book: Proceeds To Be Used To Help Children
Peter Thomas Senese's highly acclaimed novel 'Chasing The Cyclone' - a thrilling love story about a father's unending love for his internationally abducted child that critics everywhere are praising as a must read, is exclusively available on Amazon. 100% of Pacifica TWST and author Peter Thomas Senese's proceeds will be donated to the I CARE Foundation, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to stopping child abduction and human trafficking.
Exclusively now available on Amazon for Kindle users is the highly anticipated international legal thriller CHASING THE CYCLONE written by Peter Thomas Senese book critics including several of Amazon's HALL OF FAME book reviewers are calling a brilliantly written love story wrapped in a high-stakes thriller.
Best-selling author Peter Thomas Senese inspirational legal thriller is one that perhaps few other writers could have written with such intimacy, familiarity, and depth of understanding: it is a story of a father doing everything possible to find and reunite with his internationally abducted child that is Peter Thomas Senese'sCHASING THE CYCLONE which is heavily inspired by the writer's own experience chasing into the cyclones of international child abduction.
Peter Thomas Senese commented, "CHASING THE CYCLONE is story many readers are connecting with. Unquestionably, it is a legal thriller with many twists and subplots that move the reader into a complex storyline that would have been extremely difficult to replicate if it were not for my own experiences of having a child taken to the other side of the world. Readers quickly descend into the dark, bizarre, and unthinkable world of international child abduction; however, they are also taken into a world of committed love and joy in the form of a father's unending search for his son despite the most bizarre and dangerous obstacles placed in his way. Together, readers and critics appear to be truly enjoying CHASING THE CYCLONE."
Many of Amazon's renown HALL OF FAME reviewers are praising best-selling author's Peter Thomas Senese's recently released E-book international legal thriller CHASING THE CYCLONE as an electrifying story fans of high suspense legal thrillers readers and every loving parent must read. CHASING THE CYCLONE is presently available in E-book on Amazon in E-book and will be released in hardcover at the end of February, 2012.
Peter Thomas Senese's new book release CHASING THE CYCLONE has caused more than a handful of critics and readers to develop deeply frustrating and angry emotions that they have actually thrown or wanted to throw the author's riveting international legal thriller or their e-book reader against a wall, a door, or through a window. Ordinarily, an author would not have any desire to have a reader's feelings erupt to the point of physical action, unless of course, the storyline is intended to touch the reader's nerve in such a way that they feel the need to physically act.
Inspired by the best-selling author's own experiences racing into the storms of child abduction, Amazon's critics have called "Chasing The Cyclone" 'a Call-To-Arms against this worldwide epidemic and Peter Thomas Senese as a master storyteller'.
Amazon Hall of Fame book reviewer Daniel Jolley commented, "Chasing The Cyclone" isn't just a powerful novel; it's a call to arms against a growing epidemic that is tearing lives apart behind the headlines... "Chasing The Cyclone" is much more than just a superb, can't-put-down novel, though; it is a book with a purpose... Thomas has become an outspoken advocate on this issue, and 'Chasing The Cyclone' makes for a clear and profoundly effective call to action. I would go so far as to encourage every loving parent to read this book, as the bond between this father and son is one to be emulated..."
Amazon Hall of Fame book reviewer Harriett Klausner added, . . . "This is an exciting cautionary thriller that grips readers from the onset . . . "Chasing The Cyclone" will shake the audience, this exciting cautionary thriller grips readers from the onset..."
Dr. Grady Harp, a highly respected Amazon Hall Of Fame book reviewer said, "Peter Thomas Senese now opens the windows on the magnitude of these tragedies in his excellent "Chasing The Cyclone"... As if the fast paced energy of this story weren't enough to satisfy the reader, Peter Thomas Senese demonstrates his quality as a writer of distinction on many levels... this impossible to put down book..."
Additionally, Amazon Top Book Reviewer Shelley Gammon added, "Chasing the Cyclone" is the second book I've read by Peter Thomas Senese, and like "The Den of the Assassin," it's a real page turner... This was a book I could not put down. Thomas has a gift in writing a compelling novel that not only keeps the reader engaged, but educates as well."
The author has become an outspoken advocate against international child abduction. Peter Thomas Senese is donating 100% of his author royalties to the I CARE Foundation - a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting prevent international child abduction.
