Chapter 54 Baghdad Orphanage
Before Idris came back from buying candy, Cai Ruichen was invited into the orphanage by an elderly woman.
After a brief introduction, Cai Ruichen knew the identity of this Iraqi woman.
Ayima is the vice president of the United Nations Association for Children's Issues in Iraq and the founder of the Iraqi Women's Freedom Alliance, which has so far attracted more than 50,000 Iraqi women.
Both in Iraq and the United Nations have certain influence, and this orphanage was built by Ayima with the support of the World Red Cross.
It accommodates children from Baghdad and Iraq who were displaced by the war. Part of the funds come from the support of the International Red Cross, and part of the support comes from people in Iraq and abroad.
So when he heard that Cai Ruichen intended to help the orphanage, as the director of Ayima, he went to the door to greet him in person.
After seeing Cai Ruichen, Ayima showed an extremely surprised look. At first Cai Ruichen was a little puzzled, but when he walked into the orphanage, he found that there was Iraqi on the poster board near the gate of the orphanage. The National Daily reported on him.
A photo of him when he graduated from Harvard University in the United States with a Ph.
With this level of identity, Ayima's attitude towards Cai Ruichen has also become very enthusiastic.
Originally, Ayima wanted to invite him to the office for a detailed discussion, but Cai Ruichen refused, and he proposed to see the situation of the orphanage.
Ayima naturally did not refuse. This orphanage is the largest orphanage in Iraq, and it accommodates nearly 500 orphans under the age of 15.
Learning courses have also been set up to teach these orphans to learn cultural knowledge.
In the words of a slogan on the playground of the orphanage, the way to save Iraq and save more victims of war is not only to use weapons, but also to pick up a pen to realize the future peace of Iraq.
In this regard, Cai Ruichen also quite recognized that it is impossible for a pure army to make a country prosperous and peaceful. The duty of the army is to ensure the stability of the country and protect the country from other forces.
However, the development of the country and the life of the people depend on the joint efforts of the whole country to improve industry and infrastructure and promote economic development.
These require the efforts of generations, so Cai Ruichen highly approves of the education in the orphanage.
"I was outside the fence just now and heard a child reading Tang poetry. Could it be that someone in the orphanage is also teaching Chinese civilization?"
Cai Ruichen asked curiously after visiting the orphanage that seemed a bit crowded.
Ayima was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "This is just the children's interest in learning, not to say that this course is specially taught, and our teachers here are also compulsory teaching, and teaching textbooks are very scarce. , there is no way to get Huaxia textbooks."
"Then what I heard just now is obviously Tang poetry of Huaxia." Cai Ruichen said.
"That was taught by our teacher Hua here. Since there is no complete set of teaching materials, the children can only recite poems by heart." Ayima said regretfully.
"Are there many people studying?" Cai Ruichen asked curiously.
"There weren't many before, but when Mr. Cai's deeds spread throughout Iraq, more and more children were interested in Chinese civilization." Aima said with a smile.
Cai Ruichen felt amused in his heart, and said, "Can you take me to see it?"
Ayima nodded, and led Cai Ruichen around the front teaching building. There were two neat rows of candied date trees in the backyard, covered with thick candied date leaves, covering a spacious path in the backyard and blocking the scorching sun.
On the trail, many students put blankets on the ground,
Sitting under the shade of the trees in the middle of the road, I looked intently at a white panel on the side of the road.
On the white panel, "Hoe Wo" is written with an oil pen, and there is a corresponding Arabic translation beside it.
The Chinese version of hoehe has beautiful and neat handwriting, which looks very beautiful and neat, and the Arabic text next to it is also very neat and beautiful.
This white panel is the blackboard for these children to learn. On the edge of the panel is a woman wearing an Arab female scarf.
The loose Arab women's clothing hardly reveals the age of the other party, but the tightly exposed pair of eyes are bright and deep, with a very vivid aura.
The arrival of Ayima with Cai Ruichen and Natasha broke the teaching environment here.
Almost all of those students turned their heads and looked over, including the female teacher, who should be the Teacher Hua that Ayima was talking about.
Cai Ruichen nodded politely to Teacher Hua, and then glanced around among these children.
With a thin body, everyone looks very thin, and a mixture of men and women sits together, which is hardly seen in Iraq.
And these children are generally very young, the oldest is only twelve or thirteen years old, and many of them are still five or six years old.
After Cai Ruichen approached, some children seemed to recognize him, and then ran over all of a sudden, not afraid of strangers, they all surrounded Cai Ruichen, all their immature eyes were fixed on Cai Ruichen's face.
"Dr. Cai, you are Dr. Cai, that very, very powerful Chinese..." At this time, a little girl in the crowd finally exclaimed, very excited.
The next moment, the group of children started chattering, all excited to get close to Cai Ruichen, and soon he was tightly surrounded by these children.
Cai Ruichen felt that he was being grabbed by at least dozens of hands, and these excited children spared no effort to show their admiration for him.
Cai Ruichen couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, he didn't expect that he still had fans, but the age of this group of fans was too young.
At the same time, he felt relieved that he didn't see any signs of pain in these children. They all seemed to be in good condition, and they didn't have the negative emotion of losing their family members.
It was the first time Cai Ruichen encountered such a situation, and was at a loss for a while. He didn't push these children away, but kept calming their emotions.
"Students, let Dr. Cai take a breath, okay?"
It wasn't until the teacher Hua spoke that Cai Ruichen breathed a sigh of relief. The children who heard the words all dispersed a little, but their gazes of admiration did not weaken in the slightest.
I don't know how the school promotes him. The adoring eyes of these children are really too hot.
"Mr. Cai, I'm really sorry, the children are so excited to see you." Teacher Hua apologized to Cai Ruichen in Chinese.
"You are Teacher Hua! The children are very cute, and their innocence is the most precious treasure." Cai Ruichen nodded and said.
After Hua Meixue saw Ayima beside Cai Ruichen, she immediately said in relief: "My name is Hua Meixue, and I also came to Huaxia."
"It's a great honor to meet an old acquaintance in a foreign country, and to meet a Chinese who is engaged in education here." Cai Ruichen said, stretching out his right hand.
Hua Meixue, who is not an Iraqi, has no scruples about the relationship between men and women. She stretched out her small hand and shook Cai Ruichen lightly, and said, "I have heard about Mr. Cai's great deeds, but I didn't expect to see you in person. It's still here."
Cai Ruichen smiled slightly, let go of his right hand, and said, "I never thought that there would be a Chinese educator here."
As soon as Hua Meixue finished speaking, Idris walked over with two soldiers carrying two boxes of candies.
Seeing this, Cai Ruichen smiled and said to the children: "Everyone, hurry up and get the candy there, don't rush, line up, everyone has a share."
The next moment, all the children ran towards Idris, and then lined up consciously, looking expectantly at the two boxes of candies that had been opened.
Seeing this, Hua Meixue bowed slightly to Cai Ruichen and said, "Thank you, Mr. Cai, these children haven't been this happy for a long time."
