Sergeant Major Fairbairn

Sergeant Major Fairbairn (AKA Jared's Dad) visited LC11 today. He has recently got back from 6 months in Afghanistan with the NZ Army. He showed us lots of pictures of his trip and told us a lot about school life in Afghanistan.

Did you know over there they only go to school from 8am - 12 noon. Then they go home and help on the farm. One school he visited had 130 children at it and they had 1 swing and no field. They love to play soccer and volleyball.

In this photo he is wearing a Afghan hat and the other photo is of the medal he was given after his "Tour of Duty".

Thanks Sergeant Major!!
