No Favorites, but how sweet is this family?

Hey Mom, the tall one in the middle is the girl that wanted me to come teach in her school. They are adorable and always have the best smiles! The older sister is learning to speak English and she and her younger sister both have an incredible desire to learn. They attend a school not far from their house, but from the looks of the school they have no supplies, 40 - 50 students per class, and they are understaffed. This will help you to understand why she thought I could help teach at her school. She simply understands that there are not enough teachers. Other people say it is the government that is keeping money from the school systems, and therefore there will never be enough teachers until the government is not corrupt. Whichever it is, the schools here are barren.
