Today, Stephanie and I went with Techie, our cooperating teacher, along on their weekly Oratory. Every Sunday, teachers and students at Mary Help of Christians College meet with poor families in local rural areas and conduct church ceremonies with them. As described by the students, they hope to enlighten their lives by teaching poor children how to be morally just, upright citizens.

After visiting a church, we went to visit families who participate in the Oratory every Sunday. They were so excited to meet us and talk about how the work of the students has enriched their lives. They were extremely friendly and eager to talkb about their experiences.

I really enjoyed chatting with the students at MHCC. They told me knock knock jokes and took a ton of selfies. Just like American teenagers!
