| On himself:
|
I am 47 years old. I have two sons and three daughters. Two of my children are studying at school. Two stopped studying, and one is still too young. My wife is a farmer. I’ve been a teacher since 1998. I teach the second grade.

| On the new building:
|
I feel really good about the new school. I don’t have to worry about the rain, and the school is full of good equipments. At the old school both teachers and students were constantly afraid that the building might collapse. It had only one room, but there were as many as 48 students. After the new school was built, students come from other far away villages. Before, some students had to go to schools four or five kilometers away from their homes. Now they can come here instead. |
