Netizen Shares Inspiring Story of Guy Who Teaches Street Kids For Free

 

After we graduate, most of us choose to get a high-paying job to help support our family or so that we can buy the things we want. Some, like this guy, choose to teach street kids.

Cath Libarnes-Bagayna shared on Facebook how she met Kerneil Balaga in Divisoria. According to her, she was surprised at how a well-dressed guy like him would sit with rowdy children teaching them. She said:

 

Rain or shine he is there, unmindful of the possibility that he might get sick. He reads them books like a big brother does — teaching them A B Cs and colors too. I know it is rude to stare at other people’s business but I did – can’t help it! Until one day I finally had the courage to ask him questions.

 

She found out that he is a graduate of Xavier University – Ateneo de Cagayan and is currently unemployed because he teaches.

 

He finds it very fulfilling to teach street children. He gets some of his books, crayons and other school supplies from donors and sometimes from his own pocket. And the best part is? He does it for FREE and he is, in no way, related to any organization.

 

She asked him what he needed to help him teach.

 

He says additional school supplies will do just fine and first-aid kit as well since some children would get wounded and could not afford to buy even Betadine or band-aid.

 

She then promised that she will donate based on what she can afford.
