Meeting the People

This work is for literacy for poor people in Chongon.

We realized that the majority of the people have not even finish high school and they felt that because of that they didnt find any kind of job or they were not hired for one. They show us a lot of interest in learnig and finish their studies but the problem was that they didnt had anyone to take care of their children. After we realized which was the problem we decided to create a daycare for children were we could also work with their children. At the beginnig I was in charge of teaching them moral values but after findind the solution they changed my job and gave me the daycare because that is what I´m studing for.

Sometimes we think that people who has not finish high school are people who doesnt care, are lazy and careless but that is not the reality.

Most of them did not finished school because their parents could not afford anymore their studies and they had to drop school to go to work to help maintaining the family.

I could notice that these people are afraid of rejection and are ashamed of that and dont want to be judged because they did not finish school and do not want to be classified as ignorants or discriminated.

This work begins next week.
