Can you guess what the children are doing? They are learning attentively how to write the letter 'A'; however, not with pens or pencils, but using only their bare hands.
Light and Love Home organizes various after-school programs in Enkanini, one of the poorest communities in Cape Town, South Africa. There are many children and we have to prioritize our resources to the higher grades students. As for the younger children, they can only sit on the floor together, listen to the teacher, and use their hands as pencils. Nevertheless, they are eager to learn and rarely miss classes (partly because snacks are offered at the end).
猜孩子們在做什麼？他們不是唱遊做動作，乃是在學英文字母「A」。他們跟著義工導師用手勢作「A」字圖形。看孩子們的眼神，他們是何等的專注。
在南非開普敦的貧民區，我們為孩子們舉辦各樣課後補習及活動，許多的資源都先給了較高年級的學生，無論是導師、傢俬和文具，所以幼童們就只好一大群坐在地上，用手當筆，看著黑板，跟著老師大聲朗讀。雖然如此，他們還是學得興高采烈，甚少缺課，因為還有茶點的吸引。
