"These children are so eager to learn, to have an education, no matter the distance they have to walk. These children just look forward to going to school even when the classroom isn’t really conducive for learning. You see one big room partitioned and you see echoes of different classes interrupting you. I can imagine how hard is it for teachers to organize lessons for kids to learn. I really really want to do something for them"

Felicia Chin, Child Sponsor of Kyine Kyine in Taikkyi
