It traces life before school, forced departure, journeys, arrival, and the transformation of language, culture, daily routines, and religious training. The report covers discipline, abuse, separation of siblings, emotional neglect, medical attention, disability, and the enduring impact on students’ lives, leading to an account of the end and subsequent
