| On himself:
|
My daughter and five sons are all studying at this school. My wife is a farmer and so am I when I’m not teaching. I teach first grade. I’ve been a teacher since 1985. During the war, I couldn’t teach in this area because it wasn’t safe. I only came here in 2002. When I first arrived, I taught at the old school.

| On the new building:

I’m very happy to have received assistance from your organization. The old school only had one classroom in each of its two buildings, so the students couldn’t study together. Now they can because this school has many classrooms. There were 250 students at the old school. As the number of students increased, there wasn’t enough space for them to study, so we applied for a new school. There were many difficulties teaching at the old school because it looked as though it was about to collapse during class. Consequently, many students didn’t come to study. |
