Ewan Harmse said his teacher, Tarcha, was the best teacher in the whole wide world. “I love my teacher very much. She teaches me different things everyday. Teacher Tarcha taught me the alphabet, numbers and what a first-aid kit is. A first-aid kit is there to help someone when they get hurt and there are plasters in a first-aid kit that we can put on someone’s eina. Teacher Tarcha also said never to touch blood without gloves and when you’re done helping someone, take off the gloves to wash your hands,” Ewan said.
