In Boston I spent a day with Martha Vibbert at SPARK at Boston Medical Center in Mattapan. This program serves fragile children, working to nurture them in a “normal” early childhood program and develop and sustain their possibilities. Part of their work is with young adults who were in the program as very young children, who are living with AIDS, mentoring them to create futures. This program has figured out how to create a home, a place of safety, for children with great vulnerabilities and for their families, and it is working hard to ensure their futures. As I spent time in the program, I saw these young adults caring for severely challenged little children. I heard music that they are composing and recording. I listened to the bits of their stories that they were willing to share. And I saw their skills and their enjoyment of working with young children. Hopeful people doing important work. Quite the program.
