Reasons why I embark on school project as a step
toward helping the less privileged in the society for a better life.
There is a popular saying that knowledge is power,
and education is the key to success from the grim depth of poverty to a better
life. They also added that the greatest gift that one could give to his child
is education. It is true that everyone needs power, education and a better life
but not everyone can afford it due to poverty.
At the peak of my career as a civil servant, God
opened my eyes to see the defeated life our youths are living because of a
faulty foundation. The erratic dressings on the side of our girls for money and
the illegi5timate kids shouldered on their poor, week
and aged parents; all added
burden to pain away in agony. On the other side, is the ambition of the youths
which have turned away from being responsible to criminality and Drug
Addiction, could never let me sleep for
nights.
It is obvious that the most affected youths are
those who are uneducated who are mostly from the poor homes; and I asked
myself, is this the fate of the less privileged to live in this shackles and
chain for life? Can we sadly watch them going down the train when we have
resources to pull them out without our
conscience stricken? This is the guilt that our conscience cant suppress if you
really picture their real life predicaments.
This long impulse or passion to bring out from this
cloudy future kept hunting me. The more I try to shun from this, the more
responsible I become and the less sleep I have. I wish I heard this earlier
than now. Sadly, I have to face it using the last cream of my retired age and
benefits to do what the Lord wants, placing
on me the school project as a foundation to produce God-fearing academic stars
for future leadership using A.C.E. (Accelerated Christian Education) program to
give them a better life here on earth and thereafter.
