All I Know is that I Cannot Just Do Nothing

I am completely exhausted trying to teach these children. As you can see, the classroom is not very big and we don’t really have any desks. A few benches are all we have. The classrooms measured about 3×3 square meters each. We have 3 classrooms (cubicles) next to each other. Currently, we have about 44 children ranging from 4-7 years old. In the photos, some of the children were working on a drawing/coloring assignment using the school supplies that were donated. The other photo shows the children, some wearing their new clothes that were also donated by generous people.

These kids can’t go to public schools because there are no public schools here for them to attend. What we teach them is quite inadequate for what they really need to be able to have a chance to someday get a good enough job. Most of the time we are only providing them with basic meals and the comfort of love and safety within the center. Any academic they receive is very basic and will never be enough to do them much good. For the few kids that we will sponsor, hopefully they will take full advantage and stay off the streets completely. I don’t think I will be sad one bit if they don’t ever look back once they have gotten themselves off the streets and into a better life.

Honestly, I don’t know how much good I am doing here for these children. All I know is that I cannot just do nothing.
