BRINGING JOY TO THE CHILDREN
Learning English was a highlight for the children. For them, it was not only about learning, but it’s a fun therapy for the children in the refugee camps. For a moment they become children again, laughing, giggling, and a bit naughty at times. One of the parents said, “It is the first times I see my child laugh that hard.” Other parent said that her children did not want to take a nap in the afternoon because they were eagerly waiting for the English lesson.
Detty Laidlow, World Harvest volunteer was not only teaching English, but she was sharing a hope for the future for these children. She emphasized the importance of English for their future, so they need to study it seriously. It’s a way to encourage the children and let them know that the current situation will not be forever. Someday, they will be back to school and reach their dreams.
The children were studying diligently, writing everything on the books they received from Detty. They seriously listen as the teacher use some toys as learning tools, and laughing hard as they take part in a role play.
Everyday, Detty visits two refugee camps and open an English lesson in World Harvest’s base camp. She started with 20 children in the beginning of the lesson, but at the end of the hour, about 40 people including adults were packing the hot-boiling tent!
