It was 2pm in the afternoon as I went to another khampung, it rained so hard that time. To my surprise, the children were busy mopping the floor with their own clothes.
I asked them why? They said “teacher, we need to have class but how can we do it if the carpet is wet we cannot sit down. (Actually, students are just sitting on the floor while having their class to save space and observed discipline.)
I felt proud of my students they are really eager to do things even to turn their clothes into a mop for them to continue their class! They continue what they were doing until the rain stopped and start their class with their brilliant ABC sounds and “rain, rain go away song.”
Next day, to my guilt I brought them a mop for them to use in times of rain. They were very happy with it. In such simple things we can help them. These children really amaze me everyday. Who is able not to love these children? Not even one.
The good thing they are dedicated to do the necessary in order to continue their studies.
