Teacher Shares Heartbreaking Convo w/ Poor Student Who Asked Permission to Go Home Due to Hunger
WALANG BAON – A male teacher shared his conversation with a poor student who asked permission to go home due to hunger.
Recently, a Facebook user named Renwa Alicante shared his conversation with a grade 7 student. The post has gone viral on social media, shining a light on the harsh reality of poverty that some students face in the Philippines.
In the conversation, the female student, who hails from an unnamed area, approached her teacher and begged to be allowed to go home due to extreme hunger. The student tearfully explained that she had not eaten breakfast and had no money for lunch.
Moved by the student’s plight, the teacher provided the student with a small amount of money to buy food for lunch and urged them to stay in school and study hard.
This act of kindness and compassion from the teacher was captured in a photo that has since gone viral, sparking an outpouring of support and concern for the young student.

This incident underscores the importance of providing support and assistance to students who come from impoverished backgrounds. It also emphasizes the crucial role that teachers play in the lives of their students, not only as educators but also as mentors and caregivers.
Education is a fundamental right for every child, but hunger and poverty can hinder their ability to learn and grow. It is the responsibility of the government, communities, and individuals to work together to address this pressing issue.
