During raining season in May, the volunteers from DENER returned to serve at the Huzhu Elementary School in Nantou County. This reading course was taught by volunteer teacher Du, she brought the picture book “a red apple” to this class. This picture book intends to lead the children to unite and learn to share.

The first class began by the reading of the first and second grade children. As soon as they

In March when spring comes, volunteer teacher Du Du went to Huzhu Elementary School in Nantou County to teach reading. This is the first time we returned to school since the beginning of this semester. At first, we thought that we hadn’t seen the children for a while, and it would be inevitably a little strange for each other.

We were greeted by fresh air and the singing of insects and birds. When the children arrived in the classroom, they walked into the classroom one by one. Their faces are extremely familiar to me because I find that I have the same dark complexion as they are.

In May of this year, Juela School began the borrowing of books process.  Teachers implemented the library management method that our volunteer team shared with them last year.  Step by step, it is integrated into the school’s administrative system.  Prior to this, the school did not have a borrowing system, students arbitrarily took books placed on the bookshelves for reading.  The teacher mentioned that it was not good for management.We had trained the school on how to use the borrowing register as well as numbered the donated books with the hope that school can carry out the work more easily.

Since we went to Juela School last August to lead the ” More Reading, More Happiness” project, the school has formed a “Happy Reading Group”.  Six teachers who were trained with us at the time continued to lead the students in the reading groups.
