【学校建設１決意まで】full story of School Project at Minawar village (vol.1 At the beginning)

2019年8月26日2020年8月31日

パキスタン北部ギルギット市の隣町ミナワー村の中心部。学校へ行けない・行かない子供たちが多い。なぜ？学校がカラコルム・ハイウェイ脇、山を下りねばならない。遠すぎて危なすぎて小さい子には無理。両親も教育を受けていない。入学の書類も読めない。学校がない村のままでいいのか？
There are many children who don’t go, can’t go to school in center of Minawar village, upper mountain of Karakorum Highway, the neighboring town of Gilgit in northern Pakistan. WHY? The school was too far away & too dangerous. Since parents have never been educated, there is not much attention to reading and writing, besides hard to read registeration form. Without education…..Is it for OKay for kids?

ギルギットはギルギット・バルティスタン州の州都。中国・インド・アフガニスタンと3国のボーダーに近い町。教育は誰もが公平に受けられるべき権利。そこで読み書きができないのは世界が見られないに等しい。欲しい情報を自分から調べる術もない。次世代を担う子供たちがそれでいいのか？
However, Gilgit is close to China, India, Afghanistan border, the fact that they cannot read and write is equivalent to the fact that the world cannot be seen. There is no way to look up the information they want.Education is basic of human life. Is it okay for the children who will be the next generation?

[su_highlight]出会い、そして始まり　Meeting then thinking of education[/su_highlight]

3年前、1人の若者の夢を聞いた。毎日聞いた。両親も教育に無縁だったので確かな年齢は分からないが30歳前後。誰よりも上手に英語で心の熱い思いを表現できる人だった。がむしゃらに家の手伝いに喜びを見出した子供時代。家を出て南の町のモスクで勉強をした多感な青年時代。その後無一文ながら帰郷を決意。途中の町で多くの住み込み仕事をしては旅費をため故郷へ戻った。ここでもがむしゃらに家業を手伝い、アメリカのNGOでローカルディレクターとして働き多くの経験を積んでいった。がNGOそんなが撤退。そんなときガイドとして出会った彼は自分の能力・リーダーシップを持て余しているように見えた。
Three years ago, I heard the dream of my friend every day. He is around 30 years old. He doesn’t know exact age, because his parents has no education. He was a person who could express his passion in English better than anyone. He found joy in helping his parents at childhood. He left home and studied at a mosque in a southern town at sensitive youth years. After that, he decided to go home with no money. After a lot of live-in work in a town on the way, He finally returned his home by his own power without any help. He started helping a family business then worked for an American NGO, got a lot of experiences. When I met him, he seemed that he had too much hidden abilities and leadership.

教育以上に全ての経験が彼の人生の糧となり肥やしとなっているのは明白。出会いから少したった後、自分が学校へ行っていないと告白された。何の驚きもなかった。学校へ行っても彼より劣る人はたくさんいる。彼はタラレバな言葉もネガティブな言葉も言わない。でも自分の子供世代には学ばせたい、学校がほしい、教育が必要だと将来に思いを込める。将来を見つめる真摯な目。彼だって読み書きができたらば社会的地位の高い仕事につけるかもしれない、手紙でいろんなやり取りを公式にできたかもしれない・・しかし彼には学問以上の人間的な魅力と次世代を思う熱い心意気がある！
It is clear that all the experience, more than education, raised up him. After a while, I was confessed that he never go to school. There was no surprise. There are many people who are not much good like him even if they have education. He doesn’t say if or negative words. But he wants to make next generation should have education, at least writing & reading. “I want school, kids need education” Serious eyes looking at the future. Even if he could read and write, he might get a job with a high social status, he could have officially made various exchanges with letters … He has great personality and passion over the education.
