The students are all children of pastorialists and they always move on with their family and the animals they live of. Suleiman and the school move where the children goe and the teaching is done iunder a tree. When it raisn school has to be suspended tbecause the school has no roof and because heavy rain can cut off the children from coming to school because of swelling rivers. The children walk up to 7 km to get to school through the rough terain, often alone after their parents have initailly shown them the way. The children learn to read and write Somali, arthmetics and Arabic. The schooling is free all costs covered by African Educational Trust. Because the children are nomads they cant go to regular school and many are illiterate when they start the course which is planned to last for 3 years.
