Class Six Seen Passage
Read the text carefully and answer questions.
Dear Sohan,
I got your letter two days ago. But I was very busy here. So I'm late to reply.
Congo is a central African country. There is violence among political groups. So our life here is very challenging. We maintain peace and security. We distribute food, water, medicine to people. We sometimes build houses for them. We also teach children in small schools.
Last week I met an interesting young man here. His name is Gurmit Singh. He was born in India. In his early childhood, he left for Singapore with his parents and went to a Singaporean school. After a few years, he moved to Denmark and completed his school education there. For graduation, he went to the US and got a university degree. Then he left for the UK and completed his Master degree there.
Gurmit came to Congo to work for a voluntary organisation. His main job is to look after children's education in a community school. He belongs to a group of ten workers. They all came from different countries.
