Our yound ones

Yesterday I had a chance to join the volunteer group at Boys and Girls Club of Carbondale. They were playing volleyball as a part of their recreation week when we came in. I will not really describe what happened during our visit as I can easily conclude it by saying very meaningful. However, I want to share my view on children.

As we all understand, children are tomorrow’s leaders (decision maker) and it is sad to know that not every child in this world is fortunate enough to have a decent life. I can’t blame anyone on that as even many adult is not having a decent life in this world. It’s a cruel world they says. Therefore, it is not something we can change in one day, but the changes can be made faster if everyone understand and play their role wisely. Helping hands for children can come in monetary, volunteerism, material donation and many more. Giving children good education is not enough as human being also need to be brought up with other moral values such as courtesy and so on. As America struggle to give every American a decent life, the third world country and developing country struggle more. The mentality of some people around the globe are just too cruel even for themselves. The greed to be wealthy and powerful never end but should never be a reason for discriminating our young ones.

A child mind should be develop in their earliest years and their creativity should never be stopped. Developing country and the third world country is struggling in providing infrastructure and human capital to do so. Improvements are undeniable. But how fast is it? When will we live in a equal world where opportunities are there for everyone? There need to be opportunities in the first place before anyone can blame the people on making bad choices. Billion dollars had been invested on children around the world since ages. However the changes are still far from satisfying as the involvement are not from everyone.

Right now I’m with 19 youth from Malaysia, Indonesia and The Philippine which I believe are great people which is very unique in their own way. Having to know them for the last 2 weeks I strongly believe that this group of people are made to make changes.
