Batman





Today, I challenged my students with a rather "stupid" question:
"Is the batman a bat or a man?"
And ha, the answer they gave was:
"He is a bat-man!"

Kukup

Together with several teachers and students of the Sunday class, we visited to Kukup on Saturday.
We had a discussion session in the afternoon after settling ourselves at the resort.
And we set out to the Kukup Island, an island covered in mangroves the next morning to enjoy the beauty of the nature.

More about Kukup can be read here, here, here and here.

See, how sharp the teeth of the shark are!

Both adults and children enjoyed the exploration in the mangrove forest very much, and the children had learnt a lot from the beautiful nature world too.

Dana


Dana, the practice of giving, will help to eliminate the defilement of greed, and to cultivate generosity in oneself.
Teaching children practicing dana helps to plant the seeds of generosity in them since they are young.
