It’s amazing how many things need fixing in this world. At times those of us living in this brilliant country of ours take for granted everything available. We don’t see the hardships of those in far off lands. Often we forget that it is the duty of the strong to protect the weak. I have witnessed first hand real desperation. I have seen people who commit a crime so that they can go to jail. Because in jail, they can earn a better wage than in their world. Does anyone find it strange that a person would be willing to sacrifice their freedom in order to survive.
Poverty and crime are both directly linked to illiteracy. For the most part, people are inherently good. They commit crimes out of necessity. They see no other option. When we educate people we give them the options they lack. We give them a chance at life. I’m sure most of us have heard the saying, “Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, feed him for life.”
With the Papa Didos Ideals Foundation, I’m looking to help give kids a hand up and not a hand out.
