DO WE REALLY CARE?

Did you ever heard the word poverty? A lot of us beleives that we all know this thing. Are we really know what is the meaning of this and are we really know/care about this. In Naga City, a city that is highly urbanize. We Nagueños are we really care?.. Look everywhere, observe, analyse... street children.. How often you see them? they were everywhere...centro, church, plaza, even in the front of any business establishements here in Naga City. Do you really believe that they do not have parents? shelter?.... I dont think so.. I often see them after office hours/school hours. It simply means they also go to school. However they need to be in the busy street on Naga to work, find money in legal or any other means. Some are selling vegetables,(e.g.lemmon, tomatoes, pechay. etc.). Some are become beggar for a while in able to erned money for the next school day. They do this to have allowance(baon) for their angry tummy during school hours. I dont believe they do not have parents to support them. it just happen that they were born in a difficult way of life...     Now asked yourself... do you really know what is poverty? a word that has been always discuss in any talks, always a topic of NGO/IGO. A word that we all understand but we dont care. As long has we dont experience it, we really dont care. Life were so unfair. ........................I felt useless, guilt feelings arises.. I know they need help but i dont do anything to help them. I rather be drunk and exhausted than being w/ them.(College life) Now, I have my own life, own family to be proud of.. Now i understand what is poverty....

If we can't change it we must do it with helping hands. not with helping promises. ACT and not just watch.
