Many of you will soon be getting letters from your children. These letters may have been written before you became your child's sponsor, in which case of course you will not get one. The letters show various levels of English ability and academic achievement. The ones from the younger children and those who have learning difficulties are full of crossed-off portions, and you can see how they were attempting to copy from an older child (mostly Franka and Richard, whose letters are quite legible). Some have decorated their letters with charming pictures. Tonny pointed out to me that the letters do demonstrate that the level of education in the rural schools is rather low. He would like to try to get more of the children into the town schools, and hopes to initiate a Saturday tutoring session for the weaker students. He himself has had experience in tutoring English, math, and social studies, and mentioned the possibility of recruiting some local teachers to help out as well.
