We then realized that by getting pupils to run it we could help teach them important skills at the same time. “The children will be properly supervised (察看并指导). They love it and it gives them key skills, and the villagers love it too because it is such a unique service.” The post office opens daily during the pupils’ schooldays, for 15 minutes during their lunch break, and for another 15 minutes after lessons at 3 pm. Villager Laura Deighton’s five-year-old daughter Grace goes to the school and has been serving customers at the unusual branch.
