    These three little girls are students at this public school a couple blocks from my college where I would volunteer to teach English to them. The three musketeers where so willing to learn, such sweet girls. by: susanagitana Views[1883] Kids before the class starts by: aimonaput Views[449] A High school in tough terrain| Keeping up with the state's high literacy rate. by: nh22 Views[703] I'm probably one of the first foreigners that this young Burmese refugee has seen in his life. by: moonlight Views[544] Indian dancing Shakis..... we were celebrated at an educational institution in Tiruvanamalai, just because we carried a donation from a friend to the school: a full dance program; met all the wee ones: a Puja in the principals office to ensure good fortune to the matriculation students and their exams and a superb lunch cooked by the principals wife. The continuing hospitality of Joti and Varuna was exceptional. by: avalyn Views[1030]
     
    by: Views[611] Education is the key to breaking the poverty cycle even if it is in a mud hut with no electricity. Kids start school at the age of 3 for half a day. By the time they get to primary school they need to know English. by: sharoncrean Views[2063] Kids are taught by rote, so they know how to rattle off the answer but to think critically is another thing all together. They also had no idea where Australia is. Mind you, the average Aussie student would have no clue where Gulu is. by: sharoncrean Views[560] Kitchen Quiet: The hot, bustling outside activity for the nutrition programme sits at odds with the stillness of the school kitchen. Unused stoves and cooking implements are held in storage here for use when learners attend hospitality/catering lessons. by: leighat_durban Views[570] Steering Appetites: In addition to the nutrition scheme, vendors arrive at schools to sell a range of snacks for learners and educators – including chips, sweets, atchar (spicy relish), vetkoek (deep-fried dough balls), fish and even chicken feet. This lady transports all her goods by herself in her wheelbarrow, which also conveniently doubles as a seat during the long waits between lesson breaks. The atypical use of the wheelbarrow is framed by various bright cylindrical shapes which also seem out of place. by: leighat_durban Views[763]
     
    Achieving Together: A large pile of chopped wood rests against the wire school fence. The wood is collected for use in building fires for the cooking of school meals. Volunteers work together quietly and efficiently to sort the pots for the food distribution while learners wait, and watch eagerly, from their desks. by: leighat_durban Views[766] Taking Stock: A community volunteer involved in food preparation for the school nutrition programme, wipes a plate with dishwashing detergent. She eagerly smiled and asked me to take her picture but stopped smiling as soon as I raised the camera. The combination of the barbed wire fence and the badge pinned on her dress reminded me of a scene in a military camp, which was in line with the rigidly ordered way she approached her cooking tasks. by: leighat_durban Views[544] Christmas bazar at the ISM by: nichoff Views[721] by: nichoff Views[612] Christmas in Germany, snow and birthday presents :0) by: nichoff Views[1076]
     
    Halloweeeen by: nichoff Views[339] by: nichoff Views[354] While in Jamaica we visited a school during their lunch hour where the students were only given a bun and In a region of Kenya decimated by AIDS and civil war, where children act as heads of household and must scavenge for food to feed their siblings, one would expect classrooms to have gone silent. After all, without guidance or sustenance, how many children would really choose to go to school? by: rarudwall Views[713] Another Courtyard view. by: joshuapatterson23 Views[426]
     
    A view of the courtyard in building 5 where I teach. by: joshuapatterson23 Views[1043] Jambha village school by: roam-if-you-want-to Views[1865] Nimbin school house by: laurfish Views[1679]
