Teaching the Orphans 21 Oct 2012

On Sunday 21 Oct 2012, we went to our weekly session with the orphans. As the number of students were large, about 30, we had to divide the class into 2 groups, the boys and girls. I informed the caretaker that the session for the girls would be at 10 am and the boys at 11.15.

When I arrived, the boys were already sitting in the class. They were eager, but I had to send them back, as I wanted to keep to my earlier timing.

There was 12 girls, most of them were already in my earlier class.  I use my PC to play the video. However, the voice was to soft. I had tried it in my bedroom and I sound loud enough for me. However in the class, it was really soft.

For the boys, I took the simple approach. I wrote 10 sentences on the board with blanks space for them to fill up, example...
- my name is -----------
- I am ---------- years old.
- I was born on ........... 19....
