珍惜 Treasure

今天收到有關民工學生的消息，有部份孩子要退學；原因不是家庭經濟得到改善，而是因為學校附近的房屋已被拆除，新建的房子租金又太貴，根本無法負擔，因此要重新找一個較偏遠的地方居住，所以孩子必須轉校。另外一個原因是家長無法照顧孩子，唯一辦法是把孩子送回鄉，這些孩子便變成留守兒童。

這是民工子弟的現況。雖然我們不能改變甚麼，卻再次提醒我們，不能延遲對他們的關愛，要珍惜每次跟這些孩子一起的時間，可能第一次見面便是我們最後一次見面。

但願小子心能夠成為這些孩子成長中的一個支持，當他們迷失時，我們能夠成為他們腳前的燈，路上的光。

Today I received some news about the migrant children. Some children had to drop out of the school, not because their family economic condition had improved, but because their houses had been demolished, and the rent of the newly built house was too expensive, and they could not afford it. As a result, they have to move to a more remote place to live, so the child must change their schools. Another reason is that the parents cannot take care of children anymore and the only way is to send their children to their home town, these children will become left-behind children.

This is the current status of the migrant children.  Although we cannot make any changes, but this reminds us that we cannot delay our care and love towards them. We have to treasure the time with them.  The first meeting can also be our last meeting.

We hope that Little Ones can become their support. When they get lost, we can become the lamp for their feet and the light on their path.
