I was actually lucky enough for the staff to take me to the
site last week to actually meet and have lunch with the PAGE girls (for more information read my previous entry) It didn’t take
long to make me realize how much they are eager to learn. During lunch, they
requested if I can teach them a few words of Japanese. Our lunch session
quickly turned into an impromptu Japanese class. After the session, they
quickly rushed upstairs to their rooms for additional study groups for their
afternoon classes. And given their situation, this is serious business.
Excelling in school and getting into university or finding a good job is their
only way to out of their impoverished villages. They need to absorb as much knowledge and oppurtunities as possible during their time here. Just spending a few hours them
already has spurred some project proposals for the girls. I'm excited!
