I have just returned from my trip to Madagascar to visit the Light and Love Schools in Antananarivo and Tamatave. The schools have recently expanded their capacity to receive a greater number of students. The children have grown physically and spiritually, and developed strong bonds with each other. The smiles that they carry on their faces, the light in their eyes, the warmth of their friendship, and the liveliness when they play are the testimony of the results of the hard work of the Light and Love Home Schools.
Our students came from the poorest neighborhoods. They were often dirty and wore old and worn-out clothes. However, people praised them for their good manners, politeness, and obedience. Additionally by providing free tuition fees and free meals, Light and Love Home Schools have earned the respect and trust from the local communities.
I sincerely thank all the donors who have contributed to the projects in Madagascar. Your support has changed the lives of many children. Their smiles are our greatest rewards.
剛從馬島回來,探望了在京城及塔馬塔夫的光愛學校。看見學校的發展更有規模,更大的校舍,更多的學生;最寶貴是孩子們進步了,不單是身體的發育,而是群體生活、心靈和心智的發展;他們面上的笑容、眼神中的光采,彼此親切的交接,活潑的玩耍,見到陌生人也不怯懦,表達了光愛學校培訓的成果。
我們的學生多是來自最貧困的階層,他們也許會髒一點,衣物破舊一點,但街坊朋友稱讚我們的學生有禮貌、懂規矩。除了免費教育書籍、飯餐,光愛學校實在還有吸引人的素質和內涵,嬴得社區對我們信任。
謝謝所有支持辦學的朋友,你們的捐助改變了很多孩子的生命,他們的笑容是給你們的回報。
