So these are my thoughts :)

I was given the opportunity to meet the teachers for a week of teachers training for Empowered 2 Teach project. I had a chance to exchange stories and experiences with them as a teacher and I am truly thankful that each of them have a passion for teaching and loves children. We had a lot to cover in our training and all of them were hardworking and very eager to learn. The teachers were encouraging each other and giving each other tips on teaching too. It was a busy week but a week well spent. Each of them wanted to be fully prepared to teach when they return to their schools.

I find this project an excellent opportunity to reach out to as many children possible especially in the rural areas who do not have the opportunity to go to school and have an education. Selecting these teachers who are from the village itself is a good idea because they are the ones who know and understand their villagers best.

I wish all teachers the very best and see you again at the next training session.
