CHILREN FROM A PRIMARY SCHOOL IN RURAL UGANDA

These children go to a primary school in the Eastern district of Uganda called Busia, in an artisanal gold mining village called Tiira. The school was founded by a gentleman who himself had dropped out of high school in his 6th year. All the structures in the school are made of mud and wood and from this angle, this particular classroom had developed holes in the wall from water seeping into the mud walls during the rainy season.
