Charitable deeds, let's crowd-fund for kids in Bangladesh, fruits and snacks every week, nr. 50

Woo-hoo, it is a round number! And almost a year! Two weeks and I will have written a post every week for a year. All liquid SBD from this post will still go to the @SchoolForSDG4 project but the STEEM power will stay in my (@lindahas) account. If you wish to leave a bigger impact, please visit the @SchoolForSdg4 page and leave your love there!

Here is a recent post from @SchoolForSDG4

Also, I am sorry for posting a day late, I had some unexpected work that messed with my deadlines.

This week there is a heatwave going through Sylhet and the temperature is around 40 degrees. I find it quite funny(still serious at the same time) that a couple of weeks ago there was a flood and now it is hot as h*ll. But we have the same thing happening where I am but at a much smaller scale. One day it is hot, the next day it is raining and windy. Also, when it is hot here, we go swimming but I am informed that it is not a popular practice on Mohammed's(@Azizbd) side.

This week the kids had guava and I must tell you, I have never seen it or tried it! Do any of you know how it tastes? Sweet? Sour? Looks like a citrus fruit! Also, the kids seem very happy about the fruit so I am guessing it is really delicious. Just look at the gif down, in the post, and you will see how eagerly they grab their individual fruits.

I love finding out new things about cultures and customs and I love learning about new food as it is one of my favorite things in the world. What can I say, I am a simple girl :D

The school also had its monthly mothers meeting. As you know, it is when the moms of the kids come to the school and discuss the curriculum, the future plans, and the progress of the children. When I was little, we also had parent-teacher meetings, but these only occurred twice or three times per year. I love how involved the moms are in the school life and that is something to look up to. Especially in the world where teachers are often blamed for kids having bad behavior.

Remember, teaching manners and how to be a decent human being is a parental responsibility! The teachers at a school are responsible for educating the little ones only. And rightfully so as if the teacher would teach your kids everything, when would you get to have a bonding time with your little one? And when would your kid learn to look up to you and respect you? I think those are some things a lot of modern parents struggle with. But I can not really say that with a 100% certainty as I am no parent myself and I only come to conclusions from what I see and observe.

Those boys look like little bosses! And that is sometimes life's reality in Bangladesh. Oftentimes boys this age are the only providers of the family as they are the only men in the house. They learn to care and provide for their moms and sisters and therefore they have to grow up faster than usual. It is good to be strong. But it is also good to be weak sometimes and have someone take care of you. Especially when you are just in that transitional age.

I am sorry again for posting late. That does not happen often as I usually hold on to my schedule. The last couple of months, however, have been crazy and busy and for that, I must apologize. I try to do my best and I do the most I can. I just may not be very talkative outside, on the chats. I would encourage everybody doing their own thing and following their dreams, it takes work and patience but in the end, it will all work out if you really believe in what you are doing.

I hope the kids learn that. No dream is too big if your heart is in it. Because our only obstacles in life are us, ourselves!
