Genla said,

“I want to start from the worst. I want to challenge myself to find the potential in each child.”

“Some say it’s impossible to guide these children, but I say it’s possible.”

“I know what ‘the worst’ means—because I was the worst. No one can beat my record.”

“I didn’t even like myself.”

These are powerful words.

People know the difference between right and wrong, but many don’t act on what’s right.

The reason is simple: they don’t believe it’s possible.

There is a big difference between knowing and believing.

Genla says,

“I believe in goodness because I come from the worst.

I’m still not ready to confess what I did as a child.

But there was a monk who believed in me—he saw potential in a boy no one else did.

I changed, little by little.

Eventually, he believed I could do something good.”

That is how this community began.

Most schools try to take the top students—perhaps the top three percent.

It’s easy to raise them, because they’re already doing well from the start.

But society isn’t built only by the “good.”

The definition of “good” is based on a single way of measuring.

Every child has potential.

Each child’s potential is different.

There is no such thing as a useless child.

There is no such thing as an unwanted child.

Every child has a reason for being born into this world.
