Because in the rural communities that we serve, 1 in 5 children drop out of school by the end of 8th grade. We work in schools that start with 8 full groups of 1st graders and end up with one single group of 8th graders, a classroom with many empty desks.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

He soon became the education ambassador of his village.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
