RE: One of the best moment of my Life: Wonderful Smiles from Tingub Elementary School
Kids are sweet! And i have found some of my happiest moments tending to them. The knowledge that my word, or deed, is what inspires and propels that little boy or girl to live a good, and rewarding, purpose filled life is unmatched, if you ask me.
You know back in my country, Education is a privilege! And many a child, if lucky to enroll, sooner drops out, especially the girl children. I have many times found myself, whenever i have the opportunity, speaking to them, giving word or two of encouragement, for them to continue in education, and of course in many aspects of life.
I am glad you know of how priceless their smiles are, and more than that, their final life success due to the impression you make on them, even long after you have left. like you, i have some history of volunteering, and despite lack of pay, i know the satisfaction that comes with it, especially if you are dealing with children - their smiles and sparkling joy in their eyes is priceless.
So I am going feature it in the next Xposed Curator's Rebound #40. You may find details about it Xposed Curator's Rebound
My hope is to bring your quality work here the exposure it deserves, and with it, hopefully some additional rewards.
Best wishes, @mirrors
Thank you so much @mirrors for your support and I really appreciate it. It's always a joy for me each time I touch someone's heart with what I share here. It really means a lot to me.
I remember reading one of your blogs before about the life of volunteer teachers and struggles of some children in your country that gets in the way in pursuing their studies. Sometimes a child gives up in schooling due to lack of support, poverty resulting to insufficient educational resources and sometimes cultural and family influence too. In your blog, you stated that volunteer teacher do their classes just under the tree and students don't even have any chairs to sit down. Some are bound to finish their home chores first before they can head off to school. Some would go to school without a having a proper meal. During exams, most students fail due to lack of knowledge and end up getting married at a young age, especially the females. Some children grew up focusing on life survival than education. It's heartbreaking reality. I hope things will become better in the future, that many kids will be given the opportunity to finish their education.
Well, said! Truth is, much of your experience here resonates with several of my own, just know i understand how the heart jumps when that pumpkin smiles at you! Thanks for your good work. It may not seem much, but the impact is massive, and changes the future and fortunes of such children.
