Admissions going on

I'm so exited. At the moment our admissions are going on and so far we got a total of 28 children attending our school daily!!

All of them are children of low- income  families and most of them are from the local slum areas. It is such a blessing to see them come to school with a smile on their face; sometimes even barefoot  because they don't have shoes but exited to come and play...

Can you imagine, not having shoes? I do say that "I have nothing" now and then, but we all know that "having nothing to wear" means something completely different. Even afer living here for more then 7 years, sometimes these things still hit me. The differences  between rich and poor are very, very big.These people live in a home, probably  even smaller then your bedroom with 6 or 7 people. In most families the mother sleeps with her children on a bed or on the floor while  the father or grandparents sleep on another bed, that functions as sofa during the day.

You know, I really believe we can make a difference here. Education is a great beginning of a future filled with hope. Let's get started!!!
