Dear Ken,
 
  
I hope you are very well. We are also fine. You will be happy to know that now my daughter Sefa Akther Rasni can recite rhyme and try to write herself. Now she is 2 and half years old. Today I like to tell you about our mother school and education for little children that I teach. When I came to our mother school then my consideration how people can write their own name. But now I am thinking to write a name or something it doesn`t means education. Education is much than more singing or writes words. But every day we are learning many new things and realizing more on importance of education in our life. We come in our school for learning and have some responsibilities as a mother to our children. In our culture mothers are responsible to take care of their children.
  
 You will be happy to know that last December we 25 mothers win award from our mother school as our volunteer service to teaching children. I think this is our dignity and also our social respect. You know my learning is very limited. And with this I am trying my best to teach 4 neighbor children and my daughter.
 
 
Now in our school we are learning English song “Little cock sparrow”. This is an interesting song to consider the importance of thinking ability. For every song our teacher discusses in between two lines and acknowledges our opinions. We are lucky that we learn English and teaching English to our children. In the same way we are also learning Bengali songs. Before our school, I thought song is for amusement. But now I believe we can learn many things through songs and role-play. In Bengali there are many songs on Patriotism, Love, Civilization, Relations, Historical, Dedication, folks and Philosophy. In the beginning of our school when our teacher played songs and put in speakers then people thought there is something enjoyments going on. But now they know we learn by song and teach our children through songs, poems and stories.
We are happy for our challenging life and gradually changing our life.
 
 
 
Thank you for your support to my education and prosper.
 
Yours lovingly,
Ruma
