Why children really need teachers?

The Brothers of the Sacred Heart, my former religious community, was founded to take care of the least fortunate children during the French Revolution.  While there were other religious congregations who take care of the children in urban areas, the brothers chose those in the countryside.

When they came to the Philippines, they chose Digos instead of accepting a school in Davao City.  Digos in the late 50s and early 60s was still very rural.  
This song reminds me of teachers who offer their services to the least fortunate children.  I have a good number of former students who are now assigned in the hinterlands.  In fact one of my students in the masteral program who  is assigned teaching the Indigenous Peoples.  

For teachers who are assigned in these places, let this song reminds you of your great mission.  Those kids need you to realize their dreams.  Kudos all teachers!

Teachers open the way so that children will realize their dreams. They open the door towards success. They are their hope.  They  are the key in opening their minds to become successful in life.  This song capsulizes the voices of children who need teachers to guide them.
