while browsing through the folders i can say there are definitely alot of photos catching the essences of what we have experienced and learnt over in cambodia. however i chose this photo over the rest mainly because it reminded me of what sparked my irritation which led to a somewhat moodless/grumpy lesson for me in kravan pr.
we have all surely realized that there were quite a number of children crowding outside the classrooms while lessons are being conducted; looking on/listening in/ or just joining in from the outside. these are the morning-session students coming back in their home clothes (or vice versa) for another shot at maybe learning smth or just having fun. their eagerness and devotion initially overwhelmed me...until they started sitting in the class- doubling the strength, dividing the class into the learnt and the learning and making it difficult for us teach properly
i have to say that i am not very proud of how i had reacted to the situation because we did eventually overcome the complications. but this incident did teach me to handle distress and frustration in a less hasty manner because it might affect the people around me as well (i.e. the children themselves cos at the end of the lesson i had more flower-drawings than usual hee hee)
something else that all of us can gain from these group of students is of course the maturity of appreciating our well-structured education and making the best out of it for ourselves....just as the earnestness portrayed from the kravan pr children for their not-as-well-structured education has moved usLabels: Aisyah
