As a Pastor's Wife of a Missionary, i saw first hand the effect of Poverty in children here in the Philippines. We went to remote areas where children had no access to school and learnings, as we purpose to share the gospel to them, we also know and was moved that they needed to learn. So I advocate to teach them Jesus and at the same time to give them basic knowledge on how to read and write.
