Help with Food
Also Nampo Children Boarding School with slightly older children received clothes and food from the Star of Hope disaster relief in 2003. Nampo Children Boarding School is located on the beautiful country surrounded by low mountains and green hills. We drove into the area that had a basketball court and a soccer field.
In total, here lived and studied 212 children. 111 of them were 7-11 years old and went to primary school (4 year grades), 101 were 12-17 years old and went to secondary school (six grades).
The subjects studied by the children included Korean, math, science, electronics and gymnastics. Students in secondary school also read English.
They got this time following the Star of Hope:
Clothes, sugar, cooking oil, rice, soybeans, meal and supplements.
I privately bought pens to all the kids with a little difficulty. It was not like going to the first available shop to buy. You had to ask permission to go to a store where foreigners like I could shop.
But it all worked out and the kids were happy. They also received two soccer balls which was very appreciated. It was very interesting to meet these children.
