This year, one mother takes initiative to start a small literacy center at her small house. The house was built in a swamp area were kangkong plants and cobras lives.
When we went to pay them a visit, around 40 children sitting on the floor, try to write the ABC. As I looked around to observed, I smiled when I saw that the ABC was all over written at their wall made of plywood. At the outside of the house, we also notice that the neighborhood wall has also ABC. I smiled to see how persistent they are to learn, even though the resources are not sufficient.
Last month, Goducate at the same place was able to rent a bigger house with a bigger space compare to their first classroom. The 40 children was happily and proud to transfer to that house with their free bag of school supplies that GODUCATE also provide.
Now the 40 children who were taught by this very enthusiastic teacher increase up to 200 students and 2 other volunteered mothers and 1 teenager. The school house accommodates 4 classes in the morning and 2 classes in the afternoon. Still parents brought their children from the other kampong to enroll for the same purpose to let their children learn how to read and write.
That’s excellent. We hope to visit them when we organize our next trip to Sabah.
