SEJAL IS BACK

PREPARING FOR EXAMS

Sejal who was away helping her Aunt for a week is back with us. She suffered some hard words from some people but she continued to forgive them and didn't allow it to get to her. But she is glad to be back. Now she has to work hard for her exams. And I have to work hard to prepare her.

It is very apparent that most children of the village with much potential are never given the opportunity to realize their potential. The reason being, that an environment to study and learn just doesn't exist. The Government run schools are a joke! Hardly any teaching ever gets done. Most teachers take no interest whatsoever. All the children whether they ever learn anything get passed into the next standard, anyway. But most children become school drop-outs at an very early age - even though they have the potential to reach a high standard.

Just in this week I learnt about "nakal karke pass karna." It means copy and pass. What does this mean really? You, don't have to learn anything for the exams - just go and sit and the answers will be given to you by the teachers or answer sheets will be passed around and all you have to  do is copy the answers. Sad to say this is done right up to the 11th-12th level - the highest level before university. So the student obtains a pass through copying and is now eligible for college or university. This is the reality! The shocker is that this is not seen as cheating - even by many people who believe in Yeshu.

ENJOYING READING THE WORD

Sejal is always hungry for the Word. She enjoys it very much and is able to remember it.

It's the only political party cap I won't mind putting on my head because its the first political party in the history of India to take a strong stand against corruption and really mean it. It could be the party that represents a "clean India". Therefore the party insignia is the broom. May the honest people be given a fair chance!
