How do you provide an education for children whom society
doesn't value?
How do you provide an education for children whom society
doesn't value? Inderjit Khurana, an Indian schoolteacher who took
the train to work, could not help noticing the slum children who
spent their days begging from train passengers instead of attending
school. Her solution was to bring a school to the train platforms,
where she could earn the trust of the children and introduce them
to an education. Dina Abdel Wahab had never given much thought to
the special needs of disabled children in Egypt until her son Ali
was born with Down Syndrome. Well-educated and affluent, she was
able to access services for Ali, but she determined that her son,
and all pre-school age children in Egypt, deserved a quality
introduction to education. She is on her way towards that goal. In
Thai villages, girls have become a commodity. Highly valued in the
prostitution industry, they become a source of income instead of
being a financial burden on their families. Sompop Janktraka, a
loving and determined man, has started a school for young girls to
give them an education and options for their future.
