Yesterday I went to the school for the first time, and met the kids and the teachers for the first time. I learned so much from them!
I was touched by how much these teachers love the students. One teacher told me that they became loving because of these students. These marginalized kids living at the bottom of society awaked the tender heart of the teachers. They are poor, they are born to be poor, but they all have good hearts that care for others. Blessed is the poor, for the kingdom is theirs. I saw in these kids the purity, honesty and generosity that I couldnt find among the city kids, among the kids in new York.
Many teacher stayed at the school for they fell in love with the kids. Many kids' lives were changed because of what the teachers have done in their lives. These college graduates crossed the social structural barriers and entered the lives of these marginalized little ones and changed them forever.
I asked the kids what they wanna do when they grow up. Many of them said "teacher". Changing lives is the work of "one at a time".
