Fear has become the norm here now for many years my friend.
A severe inequality exists in the country and the masses have become tired of only 10% of the country owning most everything (Mostly white)
So, who can blame a man with 5 or more children, when he goes out to steal in order to feed his family?
And this is not only one man, as there are millions of them with very little education and bleak futures.
We have not been left unscathed, as my phone was taken away from me at gun point and there were a few other incidents, but it has not affected our determinantion to try and change things.
This is why we focus on education at the root of the problem, the children, as hopefully it will result in better futures for them when they become adults.
But such is life and we simply have to endure.

Wow, I feel like you live in another world. There is so much inequality and hatred in this world it turns my stomach. I believe you are right to put the emphasis on education, gives hope to future generations. I admire your commitment in helping these poor children. God Bless you and yours.
Thank you milady and yes, educarion is indeed the best medicine to improve thids dire situation.
A big problem is that the government has dropped the school pass mark to 30% per subject and children are allowed to skip Maths and Science sublects. According to me this is suicide for the county's economical growth in the future.
I have a good friend who has recently released top qualtity educational materials for the pre-shools in the country and let's hope that when the youngsters reach schooling age, they will be properly prepared.
At papillon we also have an accreditation policy, meaning that all educational efforts that we do must be top quality. We had some university partners in the past and I am aiming to do the same here in the new area soon.
So yes the battle goes on, but we will not lay down.
Blessings also to you guys and thank you for the kind support. !Engage30
