Children are the World
“Free the child’s potential, and you will transform him into the world” -Maria Montessori (Italian physician and educator, 1870-1952)
Giving children freedom of expression and the freedom to pursue their own interests is the greatest gift we can give our children and our future. Sadly this gift is all too often unseen around the globe, and children continue to be exploited and be denied their fundamental rights.
Education is not only the right of every child, but one of the greatest gifts they can receive, for education opens the doors to the world. However some 130 million children around the globe are denied access to a basic education, that is almost a quarter of the world’s children. Millions more children receive an inadequate education, or have their education cut short, and access to a University education is beyond a dream for millions.
One of the major keys to the elevation of poverty is education, as it helps to brake the cycles of abuse, exploitation and enslavement…education is the key to the world. By denying children an education we are essentially closing the door on their future and ours!
