At HOCT, so much happens each day. Today was no exception. We had wanted to start the distribution of scholastic materials earlier this week, but the bad weather prevented us from doing so. Finally, today we managed, and we began working hard. Many, many children (over 150) came to pick their notebooks and pencils and pens, and to take a photo, because we all love the first-day-of-school photos. Distributing those photos to the eager long-distance parents was an even harder job, which I won’t finish that fast. 

Apart from this, we also distributed plenty of food, as usual, we assisted the children in writing letters and we responded to many messages that have arrived. All in all, just a normal day at HOCT.

Ever since I started working for HOCT and for the children, I got used to a very large volume of work on a daily basis. No matter what others think, I am a firm believer in the fact that working a lot is good for the mind. It gets you used to the effort, to fast processing of data, to multitasking, to having a vast attention over a large array of processes. And this is good: the mind grows.

At the end of each day, this question ponders in my mind: what can I do to make my work better? For sure, each day, there is something that can be improved.
