Children speak about forgiveness

What they say: “To forgive is a must because if you don’t forgive the person that offended you, it becomes a burden whenever you see that person.”Orchide Irakoze, 14, St Joseph, S.1.“I think forgiving is good when the person who hurt you takes the first step to ask for forgiveness. There is no need of forgiving someone who is not repentant.”Justin Mutangana, 16, APAPER, S.4.
