The children of Samagama are being offered many extra classes that they would normally not be exposed to in their every day life. Donna has taught several of the teenage girls how to teach and they are using these skills to teach the young children. Almost every day of the week we have afternoon classes for the children. Donna uses every opportunity to teach English... whether the children are drawing pictures or playing with puzzles, she turns it into an English teaching moment. The organized classes that the young girls teach, are Geography taught by Shilika(orange blouse above), art lessons taught by Hansika(black & white shirt above), and Tamil language taught by Madushani (green shirt). Also on Saturday their are English classes taught by several of the girls and assisted by Donna. Also there is an English writing class that has evolved into a very popular pen-pal club with many of the children writing children in America. All of these learning opportunities are expanding their world and hopefully preparing them for a better future!
