It’s good to catch up again and meet our cousins in London. Moments like these are rare but useful, for the kids to meet up and get more acquainted with their cousins, and for the grown ups to catch up with what’s happening back home. It may sound weird but sometimes being away from home is a form of needed ‘escapism’.Here the children are given the best possible opportunity for the future in terms of education and in preparing them to be more socially at ease with people from other backgrounds and cultures.
Back to Hartland Road, we were served with nasi lemak. The kids had the usual favourite lasagne. The Hartland Road kids are schooling at the nearby Islamic-based school run by Yusuf Islam. http://www.islamia-pri.brent.sch.uk/about.html
This is a model school that should be replicated back home. We are still not able to integrate fully both English and Islamic schoolings. Kids grow up confused and as soon as they finished Darjah 6 Sekolah Ugama, all hell breaks loose.
