Police Officers Use Mobile Library To Teach Street Children Basic Education

POLICE OFFICERS – Manila Police District (MPD) police officers used a mobile library to teach street children basic education.

Studying is very important to every one of us because it helps people to be wiser in life decisions and succeed in careers.

A typical family would send their children to school even a kid is just 4 years old then support them until they finish a degree in college.

Meanwhile, some unfortunate families didn’t have a chance to provide a good education for their children because of poverty.

Children who are not in school has a probability to be influenced with bad doings such as stealing in the streets.

At a very young age, the minds of the kids can easily be corrupted by adults who they saw robbing bags or just all over the place doing nothing.

It is not a very good example for the children, so the Manila Police District (MPD) made a move to help these street children.

A 19-year-old girl named Lhera stated that she has been doing those things since she was young and has no idea it was against the law.

Lhera confessed that she was a thief and a user of an illegal substance. They beg from strangers or rob them if they won’t hand them money.

“Dati po nagnanakaw,” she said.
