[VERSE 2 — THE TEACHER’S STORY] I
remember
when
I
was
very
young,
It
was
difficult
for
us
to
count.
But
because
of
a
teacher,
Most
of
us
are
able
to
count.
Because
of
a
teacher,
we
learned
how
to
read,
Because
of
a
teacher,
we
learned
how
to
write.
A
teacher
gave
us
knowledge,
A
teacher
showed
us
the
way.
A
teacher
helped
us
dream,
And
become
who
we
are
today.
So
I
am
a
teacher,
And
I
am
proud
to
be
a
teacher!

Every
morning
we
wake
up,
We
prepare
and
start
the
journey.
Going
to
teach
our
children,
Because
we
love
what
we
do.
But
we
have
a
challenge,
And
we
need
your
attention.
Every
day
we
walk,
Without
transport
fare.
Still
we
keep
moving,
Still
we
keep
serving,
Because
our
children
are
our
future.
[BRIDGE — OUR VOICE] We
are
asking
the
leaders
of
Chingola,
Please
look
into
this
matter.
See
how
you
can
help
us
teachers,
The
teachers
from
Peri-Urban.
Every
day
we
walk,
Every
day
we
serve,
Every
day
we
teach,
For
the
future
of
our
children.
We
are
not
asking
for
luxury,
We
are
asking
for
support.
