From street child to street educator
Isko, who once was a child with no clear direction in life, is now one of Childhope’s street educators, and we couldn’t be prouder of him.
When asked why he decided to become a street educator, he enthusiastically shared with us how he wanted to make a positive impact in the lives of thousands of street children, just like his former ates and kuyas from Childhope. Just as his street educators helped him realize that there was someone out there protecting and guiding him in every step of the way, he wants the same for those kids who have little to no support, and are already on the verge of giving up.
Isko knew that his time to pay it forward has arrived.
He said that his mission right now is to create more “Iskos.” As a former street child, he wants every street child to know that life truly does get better if you keep your head up and work hard enough. Nothing would make him happier than knowing he was able to help these kids carve out a better future for themselves.
We are truly blessed to have Isko as a part of our Childhope family. We know that he would make a wonderful street educator, and make a huge difference in every street child’s life. It’s kids like him that continuously inspire us to work harder towards achieving our mission to empower all street children to claim their rights and become responsible and respected members of society.
