We can all assist our community's schools, says past student

Although most residents of Content Gap district, St. Andrew, are not willing to assist the community's school, Minna Small, past student, says she helps in the "little ways". "I live across the road from two young children and I invite them to my home on Sunday afternoons even when their parents are home. I read to them and help them with their schoolwork. I love to see when children grow-up with the discipline and respect that their elder taught them. And to get respect from children, we as adults have to show them respect," she says.
