Still helping Gjelane
Chris writes: Was back in the pre school in Fushe kosova yesterday.
Seems strange calling it a preschool in this modern age, especially when some of the children are around 12 or 13 years old, but that is pretty much what it is.
Had the opportunity to do one-to-one with some of the children...wow!...easy for me but maybe I will never realise the importance or the significance of what is going on there and the doors and opportunities which were closed before and which will now hopefully be opened.
I still found it hard that some of the children could do maths and write their names but did not know their date of birth.
One of the children was seen in Pristina on the street cleaning car windows...he was asked why he had not been in school...he responded: 'I am not coming to your silly school anymore...I am going to the big school in September!!'
Sad but true...we have all done our part...inputting into these young and precious lives and next week it will be time for them to 'fly the nest' and 'start in the big school'.
