Today we got the kids to do some drawings. We divided a piece of paper into four parts and asked them to draw their family, school (most of them have been to school in the past but stopped going, usually for financial reasons), house and themselves. This activity is designed so that we can find out more information about them and also to figure out their writing and drawing level. In our second group we had 7 kids from two different families, the first with 10 children and the second with 7 so their drawing took a considerable amount of time.
We found the bonice boys just as we were leaving so we asked them to do the drawing for us tonight and to meet us tomorrow. It will be interesting to see if they come or not.
I discovered today that one of the boys is a brother of a student already at the foundation. It made a lot of sense because they are both extremely demanding and perhaps even hyperactive (I say with zero education in the matter). When we left Uri informed me that their father, who doesn’t know any other way to deal with them, belts them :(
Today went well but sadly neither of the ex-students showed up today and it wouldn’t surprise me if we don’t see them again.
