Today, we are in Treguine Camp, in Nassour School
and this is the pre-school. I call this school the "gharya," which is Arabic for "village,"
because there are hundreds of kids here,
all aged between three and six, that's the pre-school limit.
This teacher is getting them to do some very basic writing of letters
and they're using the sand, instead of a slate, because you can rub it out so much more easily.
Moving along...
These are the next set. You've got this many children, you must have a system.
And they've got them in rows, and I think it's a good idea.
And they're handing out the wooden animals supplied by UNICEF.
We like these animals. They're pretty and they last forever. They're very strong.
In the background, under the thatched, what I call a ... there's a continuation of the pre-school.
We'll go over there.
There's also another group doing exercises.
This really is the most well-organized pre-school that I've come across. It's fabulous.
Okay, these children are really so very young.
A nice song for you by Nassour Pre-School.
The head teacher is the one wearing the beige shirt, with the whistle.
