  • The Stars Foundation visiting Africa Educational Trust (AET) in Somaliland...The small school in Bacado is run by teacher Suleiman Khalip. The students are children of pastoralists, always move on with their families and the animals they depend on. Suleiman and the school move where the children go and the teaching is done under a tree. When it rains school has to be suspended because 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 terrain, often alone after their parents have initially shown them the way. The children learn to read and write Somali, arithmetic's and Arabic. The schooling is free with all costs covered by African Educational Trust. Because the children are nomads they cannot go to regular school and many are illiterate when they start the course, which is planned to last for 3 years.

  • Douaa teaches the kids English after they have returned from work. The class room also funtions as her bed room which she share with the rest of her family.<br />
Douaa is from Sayeda Zeinab City in Syria. She was a geology student but had to leave Zeinab City with her family when the war came to their town. She lives with her father and siblings in a disused school in the Bekaa Valley. Douaa was doing nothing till she decided to get all the children living in the school together and began teaching them Englsih and Maths. All the fighters in Syria are students, doctors, engineers etc so it will be up to the young refugees to rebuild Syria when they return and all the able bodied men have died in the war according to Douaa.

He has been living in the transit home for the last 2 weeks. He is from a rural village 600km away from Kathmandu where his family is still living. He came with the brother of his brother in law to the factory. He worked there for 2 weeks to send money to his parents before he was identified by a NRF inspector. He calls his parents regularly from the center but has trouble reaching them because of poor network reception in his home village...Biraj says he is feeling happy in the center. He is now in Class 1 and learning more and more every day. He did not know he was taken to a factory at the time, he felt very surprised when he arrived. He wanted to go back home but his relative would not listen to him.  In the morning, he had to take care of the babies of the carpet workers and had to weave the carpets himself in the afternoon...When he becomes older, Biraj wants to become a policeman to catch thieves.
