Teaching grade three in a tent class-room

Meanwhile, as the "gedeg" distributions were on the go, we taught the elementary school to grade 3 till 6.

"Hari ini kita mau mengajar bahasa Inggris"
(We’re going to teach you English today).

Because of the earthquake the school building is totally destroyed and the children are being taught in extremely hot tents.

As the construction workers build seven days a week to rebuild the school, sometimes we heard a loud noise and a shaking followed. The children are very traumatised and the panic begun after the remind ness of the earthquake. They started to scream; tsunami… earthquake! As we explained it were only walls falling down due to construction workers they calmed down.

It was really sad to see how traumatized these kids are. It has touched our hearts.

While we taught we concentrated especially on happiness and laughter with singing some nice educative songs, which Sari taught us!

The grade 3 class.

Dan teaching English to the grade 3 students.
