“The test of the morality of a society is what is does for its children.” – Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Children are always innocent whether their parents are poor or rich. I believe the only solution to improve the lives of children whose parents are poor is continued education for their bright future. Do you agree with me?

부모가 부유하거나 가난하거나 아이들의 표정은 언제나 천진난만 합니다. 그런데 부유한 가정에서 태어난 아이들처럼 가난한 부모에게서 태어난 아이들에게 좀더 밝은 미래를 주기 위해서는 지속적인 교육이 필요하다고 생각합니다. 여러분들도 동의 하시나요?
