In the Questions and Answer session I ask the children (5) questions and in return allow them to ask me anything they want to. I always have one or two answers that really amaze me! There was one child who was brought in at 6 years old, after running away from home where he was being beaten. When I asked what he loved…he laughed at me as if it was obvious…he said…”Teacher, I love life!”
1) If I could make anything happen what would it be? I would put all the street children in school I would give everyone peace and happiness I would make the streets a safer place I would do away with violence I would take all kids out of the streets
2) What do you wish for? I wish I could go to heaven I wish my mother could get out of prison I wish my mother would stop drinking I wish…to be happy I wish someday to find my relatives, and teach them about Jesus I wish to be “somebody” when I grow up I wish for peace in the world I wish I could go to medical school
3) What do you love? I love life I love Jesus I love God I love Brazil
4) What do you not like? I don’t want to die I don’t like fights I don’t like violence I don’t like lies I don’t like people who are false I don’t like people who rub my head
