This is the highlight of this post for meπŸ₯Ήβ€¦

β€œI visited many students in their homes. I connected with them and their parents. I made them understand that I expected something of their livesβ€”not because I wanted to feel good about myself, but because they were human beings, with abilities, with potential.”

I’m volunteering in a community where their educated children stop at primary 6. The 3 teachers in the community are no better than a nursery 2 kid in the city. Reading this has inspired me on ways to connect more with my pupils & not give up. Thank you god sharing.

This is deep: "Those who have been fortunate enough to escape must go back and do something."

Many people aren't interested in giving back. Thank you for doing so, Lengdung! I cannot imagine what it felt like to live in a place were possibilities were non-existent.

I've tried to convey what it is to grow up in such a place in the book. I can't wait to share with you.
