"AS LONG AS YOU DID IT TO THE LEAST OF ALL...YOU DID IT UNTO ME"!!

I was coming out of a reataurant in Zamboanga City, Southwestern Philippines when I noticed three kids sitting in the pavement asking something from people passing nearby.I took a closer look and they noticed me, and asked them "What it is that you're asking from people passing here?", the older among them replied "We're asking some coins in order to have something to buy food".While some would say that this is an isolated case, the situation where these kids are now, is a sign of deprivation. They should not be begging for food but in school or in the house being taken cared of by parents or guardians.Child poverty reflects an ailing society...an ailing world! If only I am rich, I could help them in whatever possible that I could.Before we parted ways, I went back to the restaurant and bought food for the three of them. They happily shared the meal and thanked me for being kind.RIGHT TO FOOD and RIGHT TO EDUCATION, these are inherent rights of children that governments and organizations must ensure.While 3$ or 3Euros seems so little in affluent society, they can help make a difference in the lives of abandoned children in the Philippines and other third world countries.3$ or 3Euros can feed an undernourished child and support his/her school needs for a day!It only take a little kindness to make a concrete effort in helping children in difficult situations around the globe. We can be the change we want in the world.How about you?
