On the new building:	“In the history of the village, there has never been a concrete building here. We did have a wooden school building, but now I am very happy that we have this wonderful new building.”
On school subjects:	“I like teaching social science best. I focus on history because I want the students to love and understand the history of their country.”
Message for Alden Flanders:	“I would like to thank Alden Flanders, donor of the school, for helping the children in this village to study.”
