Great news! The Kadamtola Project Rhino Learning Center is in full swing. Right now we are creating our own lesson plans, so please pray that the curriculum will be purchased as soon as possible. Friday I had my first chance to go out to the village and help teach English to the children. We had such an awesome time! I taught them some new, silly, educational songs and the school rules that I adopted from Life School.
For all of my Life School friends out there, I thought you'd get a kick out of seeing my phonetic spelling of how to say the rules in Bengali.
1. Instant obedience - Kotha sono
2. Respect for others - Sobar sommon koro
3. Respect for property - Somaner jutno koro
4. Diligence to duty - Aro bholo kore koro
5. Listening learning position - Bhalo kore bosho
It really made me think the only difference from me and these children is that I was born in America. It could have been me sitting in that classroom. The payoff for doing what I'm doing is far greater than I could ever give, but I want to give my very best to these kids.
