Response to Feedback
@Response to Feedback
Following the article we published yesterday, @The Poor Child Must Not Be Condemned To A Small Imagination, feedback and questions were received. An ardent follower asked how can we practically activate the poor child's revolt of imagination against the prison of his/her circumstance amidst abject poverty. Here's the response.
Thank you so much Mazi Ugo, for this profound and important feedback. I truly appreciate you taking the conversation beyond inspiration to the harsh realities many children face. You are right: we cannot romanticise poverty or tell a hungry child to simply dream bigger.
I believe the “revolt of imagination against the prison of circumstance” must be supported with practical actions. As teachers, we can notice the child who is struggling, encourage their strengths, build their self esteem, spark their curiosity, stimulate their sense of possibility and resilience, offer extra help, teach useful skills, and connect them to scholarships, mentors, and opportunities. As parents, we can nurture their dreams, make education a priority within our means, listen to them, and refuse to let hardship convince them that their future is already decided. As community members, philanthropists, individuals, we can support vulnerable families, contribute learning materials, school uniforms and other provisions, pay their school fees, examination fees - Common Entrance, WAEC, NECO, JAMB, feeding, organise mentorship, offer short or long-term scholarships, sponsor reading programmes, and create opportunities for children to learn trades and develop their talents.
And, of course, government and institutions must do their part by tackling hunger, poor education infrastructure, accessibility, unemployment, and inequality.
So, the answer is not imagination alone. We must help children imagine a better future while collectively giving them the education, support, skills, and opportunities to pursue it. That is how hope begins to become a pathway out of poverty.
Thank you again, for raising this crucial question. Keep actively engaging with our publications. We treasure it.
Yours in fulfilment,
