Frontline News: Iraqi Children To Get Better Teacher-to-Student Interaction
Company C of the 490th Civil Affairs Battalion is working hard to put together desks for Iraqi school children in need of more teacher-to-student interaction.
Rebuilding these desks may seem like a minor project, but the possibilities from helping these children are limitless. For every desk that is refurbished, there is an Iraqi classroom that is less overcrowded, allowing the children to receive a better education.
It's hoped that with the increased number of desks, the children will begin to be less crowded and thus be able to receive more individual attention from their instructors. The project has not only helped the children, but has also been very positive for the Soldiers who worked to make it possible.
The Soldiers have seen the positive impact of their missions in support of the area schools. They've done everything from delivering school supplies to rebuilding infrastructure.
The company commander said,
The teachers and the people in the area have been very grateful and really appreciate our help.
