Books for children
Rie Ozaki
2/15, I found box on the road in Yangon. At first, I didn’t know that. But, looked closely I noticed many books are shelved in the box. I could notice it is a small library for children. I wondered at the library who was established here. The road established library in Yangon is back street. I heard the library’s books contributed by a books store. There were request of inhabitants that we want library for children. I felt it is same that parents want to give education for children. In the world there is many children can’t take education, and some children can’t decide own job in future. In fact there is many working children in Myanmar. I saw working children in tea shop, and then one child didn’t wear shoes. I became disgusted with eating breakfast under the child’s eyes. I have felt the same feeling in similar situation in Philippine. I met children of beggar in Philippine, I became disgusted with me because I couldn’t do anything for the children.
Parents who requested to establish the library are want to give opportunity of education for their children. In japan, children can take education as usual, but it is not as usual. I think I want to do something for children cannot take education. But I don’t know how can I help to give education for children. I came to Myanmar, and then I met many working children. I saw many working children in Myanmar. Now, I cannot do anything. So, I try my best every time and I try not to forget there are many children cannot take education in the world.
