The last few days I spend on the monastery school to start the E-Learning project with English software. It was quite hectic because a lot of the younger boys never used too often a computer. There were 8 different classes over the 2 days and I was running around every first class to get them to sign in but it was sooo funny! Just to type their name in English was problematic for the young ones and because two boys are sharing a computer they kept combining their names instead of having one account each. They are most exited. Now we need to keep encouraging the students to speak up and repeat the voice they hear. They are like any other student here too shy to speak up. The younger boys are less shy and practiced with full enthusiasm.
Yesterday evening I went with one of the Sister from the church to a Akkha hilltribe village. There is one family with a severe handicapped boy. He is partially blind and can't communicate other than pussing his sister or uncle in the direction he wants. He bangs his head a lot and dribbles all the time. He loves music and that keeps him happy. He hardly sleeps and that makes it real hard for his family who are working on the fields every day.
One of the boys in the village got shot dead not long ago because he had a fight with one of his classmates. The boys father is a policeman and lend the boy his gun!!! But the shooter shot his brother instead. Just horrible.
To tell an other policeman story; last Sunday there was a memorial service for a western priest from Fang who was killed on the road by 3 drunken policemen.... I tell you, the police here are the worst. They drink like crazy and feel far too superior. Anyway, the policemen of course got in no troubles whatsoever and even worse, they used the pictures of the accident, of the just killed priest, for posters to show around town what happens if you drink and drive!!!!
