Refugees

I have been volunteering at the refugee centre for a few months now. Refugees cannot work in Hong Kong but they can study. Despite having access to many resources by way of libraries and the internet, many refugees psychologically feel trapped and do not see the point in education. I enlightened them to the Bard Prison Initiative and introduced them to coursera, edx and free youtube videos on all kinds of topics. The beauty of education is it makes your intellectual life more rich, it gives you more opportunities in life, it allows you to appreciate things and develop more self confidence. Slowly but surely my refugee clients are breaking out of their depression and opening their eyes and exposing themselves to ideas, perspectives, cultures and news. It got me thinking of how education can happen anywhere, not necessarily in a classroom and ponder how I will teach my children. Aside from traditional school, I might arrange for my own homeschooling curriculum, in which case it might be more efficient to have a few more children.
