The bright light of education


Young Burkinabé boy doing math in elementary school.  I had happened to be there to take pictures for the school.  They don't have enough desks for the 80 kids so about a third of them have to sit on the ground.  They still have a blast though.  It's great how engaged and excited the kids are to learn here.  They love to do examples at the board, they practically spring out of their desks to get my attention to call on them.  Of course, I have middle school students and can't imagine having the little kids who have no french.  I thought this would be a cool, inspirationalish photo.
