English Language Center

We visited the English language center where Sabira's sister, Tahira studies.
It was genuinely humbling to see the lengths that some people go to get an education.
We visited one small classroom. It was noisy (construction outside), hot, over-crowded and the teacher hadn't turned up.
The students work during the day and study at night, but they still sat and debated in English the sentence "Failure is an incentive."
Tahira is the prefect and keeps the students (and teachers in order). She wants to study in the US.
