Our teachers are very brave. Imagine 120 three-year-olds leaving their mothers for the first time. Chaos for sure. The parents are allowed to enter the classroom with the child for the first three days. After that, they bring the student to the gate, and the teachers take them to class from there.
One week later, I took photos. The kids adjust better than the parents.They are waiting for uniforms sewn by Urukundo Sewing Center.
Not yet happy, but not crying. That is progress.
Laughing or crying, I am not sure, but a friend to hug is always comforting.
Uniforms are being made and soon will be given out.
Beginners are in baby class. They are 3-year-olds. Yep, they are babies, but don’t tell them that.
This group is only one of three classrooms of our middle class. Sports uniforms and so grown up. What a difference a year makes!
