The Children of Rempang

Playing during recess time in between lessons and a mock oral exam. The children gather outside one of the classrooms and play in the drain nearby. They're a high spirited bunch and love having the photo taken for the most part, posing happily for the camera.

This was a fortnight before their English exam and the team from Singapore was there as they usually are, every fortnight, to teach and conduct an oral examination. Participation from the students is voluntary since it is a Sunday but the turnout is usually good with classes largely about 20+ in size from primary one to six or as they term it, Class 1 to Class 6. The students range in age as well as they sometimes start later than would normally be the case in a more developed country.
