Review

To be honest, the program was not like it was supposed in the begining of the story.
We were arranged to a local kindergarten called "little star" and our job is to teach children something and hep the teacher to look after them. You may also think it's a piece of cake ! But things became really different when you find that they don't speak English at all except several simplest words like "hello" and "bye". Even the level of the teacher's English is also very limited. The first day there was suffering and all of us were frustrated and I also have the thought to abandon , we can't communicate with them at all, we will change workplace next week anyway.
Next day,we just sit there to watching them playing, laughing,painting, they are so ovely actually but what they do have nothing to do with you , you are just a vistor. I know I'm not willing but I dont want to change or I'm afaid to change. Nobody will blame you as long as you dont make trouble to them.
Just then, a girl coming to my side quietly and , opened her mouth!!! "Sudu sir, may I go to the toilet? " Astonished for a moment, "sure,go!" I replied her flurried. Watching her skipping figure like a fairy, I'm touched,I have to admit it is the real happy that I have lost for many many years. But what to do now, keeping still and waiting for her next toilet time? No! If a 5 years old girl has the courage to speak to a foreigner with foreign language, so do I! With this motion, I stood up and went forword ,"Excuse me teacher, could you please teach me how to say what's your name in Srilanka language? ""Sure,I'm very happy,Ohyagi nama mochoda"..........
Anyhing is possible if you follow your heart and keep hard. In only 4 days, I have known much about the children, I know Danido is the naughtiest boy, I know Githme is the clingiest girl....I begin to teach them painting,English letters and even the sinhalese letter after learning from teacher first haha. I'm so proud children growing up everyday and I'm so happy they also like me too. Gradually every children begin to call me "Sudu sir"(sudu means white~~).
That is my new name of my new life,I guess. And I know I can't live without them. So, I request to extend my kindergarten work to my last day before my flight back to China.
The last week there,when all the other volunteers go to other places, I wake up everyday 6'o clock, ride my rent motor from the remote mountains to my lovely children. I will never forget I dance with them though there are serious injury on my legs beacuse the happy take over the pain,I will never forget oneday Danido take my hand and does't let me go after class, so I have a impressive afternoon at his house haha~~
All of these, all of them, are my legacy that I will never lost.

Would you recommend this program?
Yes, I would
