| カブールの古いマーケットで、服や布地を売るお店があった。水をくみに行ったり、服をたたんだり、布地を配達しに行ったり。カメラを向けると作業を中断して集まってきてしまった。怒られてしまうかなと思っていたら、後ろの方で店主が笑顔でこちらを見ていた。 At an old market in Kabul. Children were busy drawing water, folding clothes and delivering fabrics to their customers. They stopped working and approached me as soon as I started to taking pictures of them. I was afraid that the shopkeeper would be angry, but he merely watched, smiling softly. |
MMCCのセンターで、中庭に新たに仮設の教室を作ることになった。小さな子どもたちも率先して手伝ってくれる。土台を作り、柱を立てて、壁を積み上げて、屋根を作る。この一連の工程を一緒にやることで、子どもたちにも建設的な思考が身に付いていく。生活の中に、学びの場がたくさんある。せめて戦争だけでもなくなってほしい。 At the MMCC center, the staff members have decided to build a temporary classroom in the courtyard. Even small children are actively involved in this project. Through this process, children will utilize their ability to think constructively as they build a foundation and pillars, pile bricks walls and put shingles on the roof. Given time and opportunities, these children have chances in their daily lives to acquire the trades or skills necessary to enrich their lives. My only wish for them is a life in a peaceful world. |
