This week, we were planning to teach them swimming, but due to the unfavorable weather conditions, we changed our plan and we went to the IT lab to give them some computer lessons.

Since we couldn’t give them computer lessons last week, it was a good opportunity to have the session this week. We used a software that teaches the fundamentals to typing so that they could practice. Last semester, we didn’t fully make the use of this because they were simply typing without knowing which fingers to type with and so on, so this time we looked after each and everybody, teaching them about which letter to type with which finger. This is the most basic to the typing and although this is tough at the beginning for them as well as for us, we hope that through more practices they will improve. This requires a lot of perseverance and thus is a challenge but we hope to make commitments to help them as this will help them in the future, which is the purpose of this IT teaching lessons.

After about 30 minutes of typing practices, we took them to the gym, where we played some basketball and volleyball with them. There is less educational aspect in playing sports with them, but we believe that this is compensated by giving them a better environment and equipment to really enjoy what they like, which they don’t often get to experience in their local schools. 

Next week, we will be spending the entire time in the swimming pool.
