Educate A Child Part 2

The boys in this image are Sokonu Hakeem and Sokonu Jacob; they are siblings.

The older one is 8 and the younger one is 6. Hakeem says he wants to be a police officer while Jacob says he wants to be a doctor when he grows up. They say if they get the opportunity to become a police and a doctor respectively, they would support their parents financially; they want to help their community by restructuring every building and making sure that with the aid of the government and their own support, every part of their community is clean and properly sanitised.

I tried to push back tears as I watched as this girl was carried by other kids around her. She has polio and cannot walk. Imagine if her parents were educated enough to know the implications of not giving their child the polio vaccination, I don't think she'll be like this. Her story would have been different. She'd be able to walk, run and play with her friends. Education is important... be it #HealthEducation, #HygieneEducation, #AcademicEducation, #SocioPoliticalEducation, #SexEducation... it really goes a long way! #CatchThemYoung #EducateAChildToday  #EducationIsImportant #EducateAChildBuildANation 

Imagine if these kids were properly educated and led in the right path... a huge difference will be made. #Education is a strong weapon that can be used to fight and win the war called #poverty!!
