In the modern world where students cannot learn or study when laptops are not working or when the air conditioners or heaters are not working it is the extreme opposite for schools in the developing world. When children do not have papers and pens, they have the ground to use as their papers and their hands as their pens just for them to learn. They too do not have classrooms but they have the trees for shades as their teacher teach them how to write by using the ground as her board but it does not bother the children not to learn. Instead they are inspire to learn more and hope someday they can have pens, papers and a good classrooms when they go to school.Teachers resourcefulness and innovative minds will not hinder them to deliver quality education, how much more when they have the resources that the developed world classrooms have, then it will much better for them. In 2009, when I started training teachers to improve their teaching strategies, I almost gave up due to lack of resources as well the enthusiasm of the trainees. However,after years of staying here in Africa, I am happy to see how everything started to change. Let us continue to support change, a change for a better world. Be a catalyst of change, be a Vso Bahaginan volunteer!
