Hello there
Welcome to our blog today. We bet you will enjoy reading from us today.
Do you know that we are often drawn to the plight of a pregnant teenage girl hawking on the street, a hungry child, a rape victim, a sick individual, and in our little way, we feel there’s something we should do to help these folks out of their helpless conditions?
This is what it means to have empathy. Empathy means putting ourselves in the shoes of others.
Empathy is the feeling of not being satisfied with or pitying others in helpless conditions but taking steps to help others out of that predicament as though we are directly affected.
Sympathy, on the other hand, means feeling sorry for the misfortune of others.
Having lost his teenage mother during childbirth, Tade lives with his grandmother, who is too old to take any job to get him well-fed. He has no hope of going to school. He’s left with the option of hawking groundnut on the streets to help himself and His grandmother survive each day as it comes.
Tade is like most children out there who are denied a chance at education owing to socioeconomic conditions.
The question then is: Who do wait on to help several other children on the streets like Tade? Or do we just feel sorry for him and hope he will be fine?
This is why Talent Mine Academy had to be birthed into existence. Talent Mine Academy helps to bring to reality the hope of getting underprivileged children into school so that they can have a chance at education.
We believe that being sympathetic to the predicament of every underprivileged child is not enough. Rather, we can get at least a child off the street by providing a free school.
We choose to see life from the perspective of every child who there denied the opportunity of being educated, and all we see is hopelessness, frustration, and lack of admiration for life and living.
Our goal is to make as many children as possible and see that life is worth living with the exposure and life-changing opportunities that come with education.
Empathy is our driving force, and each day, the laughter that exudes in the lips of the beneficiaries of our free school keeps us inspired not to rest our oars and stay true to get a child off the street.
You can be a part of what we do at Talentmine and give an underprivileged child a chance at a secure future.
Thanks for reading.
