May 2003, we go to Paggalungan Pikit. That is my first time to visit there with MCL staff. 8:00 A.M we start to go in Paggalungan and we come here at 9:00 o'clock in the morning. So, one hour private ride. When we come here I think why there are so many children go to school even though vacation time and I feel pity them. Because they have no chair and they are sit only on the land, but there is a floor mat and also their building have no wall.
I ask the one teacher, why they have no chair and have no good building? And the teacher say that they had a new building school but it was destroyed because there was a fighting and someone make it fire and they don't know who will do this. It is difficult for many children and for the teacher because they are have no building now.
I ask also why they are having a class even though vacation time? They teacher say that the children have not good study in classes time because they are effective the fire happen in their school. So we are very pity the situation of many people here.
That is the first place that I saw many children are in difficult situation. When I saw them, I feel lonely. I pray to the lord God that hopes the people have a peace and hope they are lived happily.
