India Lock Down! Online Class by Bodhgaya Nihongo Class

インド・ロックダウン（全国都市封鎖）二日目となりました。

It is the second day after India's Lock Down has started.

ロックダウンが始まる前、

ビハール州で教育機関の閉鎖命令が出てから、

ブッダガヤ日本語教室は自宅学習に切り替えました。

Before the lockdown started, 

Bihar State government ordered to close all educational organisations till March 31,

Due to that BNC(Bodhgaya Nihongo class) has

decided to close the classes and switched to online video lessons that the students can view at home and learn from, while practicing social distancing.

授業のビデオを撮影して、

生徒たちにワッツアップ（ラインのようなアプリ）で

リンクを共有して、自宅で学習してもらっています。

Teachers record the lessons 

and share the link on whatsapp (it's a lot like the LINE app), 

through which the students can study at home.

それぞれのクラスの担当教師が授業のビデオを作り、

可能なクラスはZoomを使ってビデオ会議で

質疑応答をしています。

Each teacher in charge makes video lessons,

hold Q&A session by Zoom if the class is possible.

ワッツアップのグループでそれぞれのクラス毎に

宿題も出しています。

The teachers give the homework to students 

in their respective whatsapp group.

ロックダウンで、自宅で何をして過ごそうかと考えている人もいるようですが、

ブッダガヤ日本語教室の教師たちは授業のビデオを撮影したり、

宿題のチェックをしたり、生徒の質問に答えたり、大忙しです。

Due to Lockdown, some people say they don't know what they should do at home,

but BNC teachers are very busy: recording lessons, checking homework, answering questions from the students.

ここに挙げているのはその一部です。

Here are some part of the lessons.

ロックダウン中の時間を有効に使って頑張って勉強しましょう！

Let's study hard by utilising lots of time during lockdown!

ロックダウンの前まで、N１の授業は５名だけ一緒に勉強していました。

Before lockdown, I taught N1 class to 5 students.

しかし、ロックダウンということで、すぐ隣の建物で寮生活している彼らですが、

Zoomの授業に切り替えました。

However, due to lockdown, although they live quite nearby in the hostel, 

I changed the class into Online lesson using Zoom,

その様子は次のブログでお伝えします。

I will tell you about the situation of N1 Zoom class next time!

We visited his house too.

He played his drum for welcoming us!

And an ex-student D is a player of MMA(Mixed Martial Arts).

A few years ago, he asked me for his scholarship for the  wrestling academy.

It was so expensive and we couldn't give him scholarship.

Even though, he's never given up his dream, 

studying and working as part time job,

he continued to go to training gym.

His coach supported him for his talent,

he was able to win in 59 kg MMA championship over India.

He wasn't the AAA scholarship student,

but his house was very near to other students,

so we visited his house too.

Surprisingly, he made his training tools by himself in the house.

We were very pleased to see his efforts!

And ex-student C also studies Japanese language now.

He had leg fracture in a bike accident last year.

He continued study while he go in and out from 

the hospital repeatedly for the treatment,

he passed JLPT N5.

He couldn't pass N4 last time, but it was close,

he studies in N3 class now.

We found mustard seeds dried on his roof. 

Sunset view from the roof with whole village was so beautiful!

And we visited the houses of ex-student A who has target to enter IIT,

and M who studies Japanese now.

They are neighbours.

M had college exam on that day, he came back home late,

so we visited A's house while waiting M.

A got very excellent marks in JEE-Mains held in January.

And he will challenge JEE-Adbance too!

Ms.Y is skype lesson teacher of M.

She could meet M's family!

It was the first day of the study tour,

starting from teaching in the school,

visiting 7 students' houses, so it was very busy day.

Actually, it was not the end of the day...!

In the night, we went to attend a wedding party 

of ex-students of Bodhgaya Nihongo Class...!

Roof construction completed!

August 2019,

School roof construction completed!

The roof construction completed in Surya Bharti School!

Please listen to the students' happy voice!

This video was recorded when the roof construction started.

2014, there was historical heavy rain disaster in Bihar state, and Surya Bharti School had also beg damage by heavy rain.

This was the damage.

Previous roof was old small tiles, and got damage not only heavy rain but also by the earthquake happened in Napal.

Therefore, we had stopped whenever it's heavy rain students had to put all the textbooks and notebooks away form desks because rain water powered down from the roof. 

Rainy season continues about 3 months.

Not everyday is raining, but it caused disturbing the classes.

The roof construction completed in July 2019.

New roof is made of concrete, the ceiling is high, it protects students not only from heavy rain but also from the heat in long summer season.

All the students and teachers of Surya Bharti School express great gratitude from our deepest heart to the support from El Cantare Foundation in Hawaii.

Nail extracting operation succeeded and the student is coming to school again!

Karan came back to our school!

He has been absent from school since 1 and half month ago.

He got accident one and half year ago.

A track hit him when he was riding a bicycle going back home form school, and he got serious damage like comma,  full body bruise, and fracture of femur and hip bone.

He was hospitalised and had several operation putting metal inserts to fix the fractured bones of femur and hip bone in a hospital at Patna.

One year and a few months passed, the time had come to put the metal insets away, and he went back to the hospital in Patna.

Unfortunately, after the medical examine before the operation, the doctor said "the last operation of metal insets was fail. We have to fix the bones with more strong metal insets."

And the doctor told the cost of the operation will be a few more times of the metal extracting operation.

His parents were at a loss, and they searched another hospital.

They searched several hospitals and they found a clinic for surgical treatment in Gaya.

Then, the doctor saw the results, said "It's not fail. You can get the metal off from your body.  We can have the extracting operation."

And, the operation had done, Karan was in the clinic for 4 days, after that, he was at home for treatment.

January after winter vacation, Karan has come back to Surya Bharti School.

He as pain a little, but he can walk!

Before the extracting operation, he came to school by bicycle with metals inside his bones.

It's more then 5 kilo meters away from home to school.

His house in the other road which is in different route of the school bus.

Before this operation, he dropped tears.

He can't go to school after the operation for a few month.

I cheered him up, "You have operation on hip and legs, so you have head and hands free. You can bring textbooks, and study."

He is very enthusiastic student.

His future dream is to become a mechanical engineer. 

His father is a carpenter, so he is interested in making things.

Karan said, "Now, I can study as much as I can!"

Thanks for everyone who prayed for him during the operation!
