Allegations
of Abuse in Institutions |

I am writing to say how
well I was treated during my upbringing at the Salvation Army Bramwell Booth
Boys Home at Temuka. We were given a good
grounding in all life skills. In all the time I was
there I found them firm but fair. We were also given a
good grounding in Christian beliefs, which has stood me in good stead for all
of my life. I cannot raise my hat
high enough in respect for the dedication and caring shown to me by the
managers and staff who were there during my time at the home. I am now well into my
80s and put this longevity down, in a large part, to the sound upbringing
they gave me. I am sure the other boys of my era would also agree with me. I wish to sincerely say
"God bless" to all those dedicated Salvation Army officers and
staff. |
