Little ones

So I finally got to meet and teach some kids.  I think what they mainly learnt is that white people are scary. I was teaching little tiny kids, maybe 4 years old.  They were quite possibly the cutest little things I have ever seen.  Big shiny eyes (even more so after crying), eye lashes like donkeys and a little uniform that would melt the hardest of hearts.

They came into the teaching room, took one look at us all and their little expressions turned to sheer terror.   You can't blame them.  Not only are we massive compared to them, we are also completely alien in every sense, not to mention the fact that we were mob handed.  In fact there were more volunteers than children (I won't start moaning again about what a shit company it is as I think you already get the gist).

After a little while we managed to pacify them and for a while they seemed as happy as you like.  There is nothing more rewarding than making them smile.  I felt completely happy and content for the first time since arriving until the fat fuck of a (so called) coordinator pretended to be a lion and roared at them until one by one they broke down crying and had to be taken back to class.  I shit you not I am on the verge of murder. I'm assuming it's still illegal in India??  Answers on a postcard please.  If there is any chance I can get away with it, it would be great to know.
