They have been delightful to get to know. At the end of each class, several boys will come up to shake my hand and thank me for being their teacher that day. I am quite sure I will miss them far more than they will miss me.
I'm sure I will be reflecting on my time here for a long while. I still have doubts and questions about the program and how it is operated. I'm also not sure that I will travel with IVHQ in the future as I'm not convinced they encourage responsible volunteer tourism. But putting that aside I can unequivocally say that I loved being in the classroom here. I enjoy teaching, and being able to experience the schools here has been very rewarding.
