We at He Cares want to give the kids a chance! Kids today have so many tools to succeed. It's easier to do research online and have the world's storehouse of knowledge at your feet! But there are those without the resources to access all this information - and don't have the support of the loving family that has enough time to help them through.
Many of the He Cares children face so many tough obstacles to learning. Since many of them come from underprivileged families, their parents, if one or both of them is around, were not educated as well - and even discourage their children from studying - as if their future was already doomed.
They hardly ever just "study". They need to fend for themselves by begging, so it's tough to make that choice to go to school every day. They would rather try to earn a living off the streets where they are put in harm's way.
A tutor's role not only provides the child with the much needed academic support but the moral encouragement he needs to keep up with other children who have all the tools.
A tutor not only teaches but primarily becomes a friend to the child - and ultimately, a sign of a world that still cares.
