00:10How about the sound?
00:11If I wish one taste at Koka and which one...
00:14In Nira Jam we don't consider age
00:16because we may find that a child is maybe 12 years
00:20and it doesn't know the sound, even it doesn't know how to read.
00:23So we go back to zero and we start from there.
00:34I discovered at early age, at two years, maybe from there,
00:39when I could put them in a group like when they are praying together,

01:44But so people think they are stupid, they are refusing to learn,
01:48so they are highly punished.
01:49And this affects their confidence a lot.
01:52They are tiếp
