Dedication

24 timorese came from a faraway land

To see and learn all that they can...

Scared was I to see them all

doubted if I could handle them at all.

Soon they warmed up and spread their smiles

happiness all over SJEC and across the miles

Fathers and teachers and friends alike

began to fall for their charms in no time.

But soon tempers began to fly

Teachers too had to shout and make them cry.

Little by little progress they made

Universe and beyond did come to our aid

As I sit to write some lines today

To remember after the farewell day

I realised I am blessed with 24 angels

P.S. wrote this as a gift to all my students before they left to their country..
