–In our country a lot of kids are deprived from having descent education. It is when i had a daughter that i understood that by nature children want to study and be with other kids. My father used to wake up early in the morning, ride his pedicab to earn some money so that he will have food to eat and to pay for some expenses in schools. Sadly, education is not prioritized in our own nation. My hope is just to pray these kids will grow up to be successful in their own ways, just like my father. 18 Likes
