Testimonials from dads in the 4-H LIFE Program.

"The situation in the visiting room is very structured and restricted...."


 

"In the 4-H program we're able to hug, and just talk on a human-to-human relationship - a father-to-child relationship..."


"The 4-H program gives us an opportunity to spend . . . quality time with our kids..."


 

"The LIFE program here at Potosi Correctional center includes a 4-H club where the kids can meet with their dads..."


"That's what I like about 4-H. No matter what the setting is, the parents can learn as much as the kids can learn, and they can learn together...."
 


"It's a much more relaxed atmosphere. You can see fathers and sons and fathers and daughters doing the typical things that they do out on the street..."


"It's given me the opportunity to relate to my grandkids and my kids on a basis that I never had before..."
 



 
"We take photographs...and create a history together as parent and child..."



"...To share some moments together. You know, a letter, that's nice, but it just doesn't express it..."
