My Volunteer Experience in Ghana

It is not quite six in the morning. I am half asleep in a van that in the United States would seat maybe six people. Here in Ghana though, its insides have been replaced with wooden benches that can accommodate twelve of us. I use the term “accommodate” loosely; we are squeezed so tight in together 1 sometimes my arm goes numb (麻木的).

This goes on for two hours every morning, from Monday to Friday, so that I 2 get to the slum town school where I teach.

3 (arrive) at the destination always fills me with fear. The school originally functioned as a daycare type service free to the children of single mothers. 4 the children got older, the coordinator took it upon herself to set up a space to teach them. Into this tiny space they squeeze anywhere between 80 and 120 children under the age of six. It is literally so full of children that you have to move them out of the way by shoving (推开) them with your feet 5 (avoid) stepping on them.

Within days, I have already learned most of their names. There are the troublemakers who spend their time 6 (hit) one another and causing chaos in hopes that their negative behavior will attract attention to themselves. All of my child psychology classes tell me to ignore the behavior 7 responding to it may reinforce the behavior.

Then there are the ones that make your heart bleed. The five-year-old girl who 8 (sit) in the front row, is ready to learn whatever knowledge we can throw her way. She learns whatever we teach her, at a pace 9 takes my breath away. She far outpaces any Western five-year-old I’ve ever worked with, and she’s learning in English when her family only knows and speaks Twi, a local language.

I look at this decrepit (破旧的) classroom and these children in their ragged clothes, and think of 10 different this is from the American classrooms I’ve known.
