Teachers đšâđ«are a cornerstone of our society. We all remember a great teacher who encouraged us during hardâ°ïž times, who told us that we could make it or who punished đąus for a reason that we understood few years later. They are true đđȘheroes!
I will never forget my discussion with the head teacher of the Lindi School located in a very poor slum. It was surprising, this school was a haven of joyđ and gaietyđ. After a warm welcome from 50 young & dynamic childrenđŠđ§ at the entrance gatesđ, I had the chance to seat down few minutes with the head teacher. He shared with me scaring numbersđą: out of the 200 children, only 2 validated their high school final exams and none of them could pay for the high school fee. They had one book đfor up to 10 children. He was struggling to payđ° for the other teachersâ salary.
However, his mission đhas remained intact for the last 20 years: he has to make his best efforts đȘto provide as much educationđ©âđ« as he could to his school kids. If he does not, no one will do. I have been really impressedđđ by this man who was been fighting đ„for more than 20 years and never gave up!
đ đ đ âAt our own pace and scale, everyone can aspire to change the worldâđ đ đ
