In Their Own Words. . .
| On the new building: | “I like the new building, as do the students and the school community, because we have never had a building like this in the village. It was very hard to have class in the old building because we didn’t have any tables. Now, we have enough, which makes it much easier to teach. I think that this new building is good for the village because the villagers are happy to send their children to study here and it will last for a long time.”

| On his children: | “Four of my children are learning at this school. I want them to attend this school because it has good teachers and a nice school building.”
|
| On school subjects: | “I like teaching all the subjects, because each is important in its own way, but mathematics is my favorite because it is a [practical] subject. I think that my students like mathematics and applied science best. They are always asking questions during class.” |
