Thereare about three hundred million homeless children in the world and the numberof these little tramps(流浪者)is still increasing. Theymake livings by brushing shoes, selling newspapers, begging and even stealing.They have brought too much trouble to the cities and towns. Now things aregetting worse and worse, especially in the countries of Latin America. Thegovernments of the countries have already done something to help the homelesschildren. “Street Teachers” have played an important part in it.

Mostof these “Street Teachers” are youth. They themselves grew up in these streetsand had the same experience as the little tramps. They know what the homelesschildren think about and what they need. They sympathize with the children(同情孩子们)and pay great attention to their healthygrowth. These “Street Teachers” educate the children in various and lively waysaccording to their special characteristics. There isn’t any reprimand(训斥), nor punishment. They only rely ontheir own experience and excuse(谅解)to teach them how to be anice and useful citizen. The little ones are always watchful(警惕的)to other persons but believe in theirteachers and treat them as their close friends. Thus the teachers have turnedthe streets, lanes(小巷)and parks into places foreducation.
