"Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself."

-Chinese Proverb

This is true; for the instruction can only be received and applied if there is a self-motivation. But many children are don't even have this opportunity. Many don't have this chance.

Hundreds of children live in this world needing homes, needing a family. Some have been orphaned at an early age, or abandoned in the streets, where some resort to awful means such as drugs, alcohol, and prostitution to make a living. There is currently a high need in many countries to adopt. One way you can help the world is to take one of these children into your home, give them a life and someone to love, and raise them to grow up in this world, educate them and teach them.

For many of these children are seeking love. Some have never seen love, never seen kindness or care, but been accustomed to only desertion, abandonment, and fear from one day to the next as they grope for survival.

Children represent our future. It is our job to educate them, to teach and instruct them, and most importantly to nourish their souls with love. These children are searching for homes, for love, for a chance.

There are many wonderful organizations around the world that bring these children into arms of mercy and compassion, and show them hope for a new future. Many children now are filled with a hope that they could be adopted into a family, that they could have a chance to grow up loved and be educated, nourished. By giving them love and a home, people will be giving them a life to look forward to, a hope to cling on to, and a chance to grow up and live in this world with an understanding of life, and most of all with a family that loves them. Some children never knew love existed until someone showed it to them.

If you want to help our future and our children, lend a hand to the many that need homes, visit the organizations at this link and consider the wonderful gift of love.

Our children are precious, they are beautiful, and they are youth. This youth must be given a future, for they will pave the way for ours.

If there is anything that can be done to help the people of the world, to stop, even if it is just a little, the crime, corruption, and wickedness, than should be for our children.

In closing, there will be brought up a hopeful, thankful, and loving soul. There was once a dynamic woman named Helen Keller, who was born both blind and deaf, what would be a separation from the outside world had she not been guided, loved, and taught by a wonderful teacher named Ann Sullivan. This young girl, who did not even speak as a child, went on to become one of the world's most gifted and influential speakers and teacher herself. She did not regret or feel sorry that she was born with these challenges. She once eloquently quoted that she would rather live in the darkness with wonderful people as friends and to love, than live in the light without them. And she once equally spoke on our children. This woman looked at children as our future and our hope, and she looked at life as an opportunity, with thankfulness. Through her lifetime, she influenced many people through her speeches and writings, and gave us a contribution priceless: she taught us to be thankful, to look for opportunities. And she taught us to teach our children, no matter how painstaking and challenging it may be, for:

"It is not possible for civilization to flow backwards while there is youth in the world."

-Helen Keller
