The whole room is set up on the child’s level

Their parents are just as dedicated. La’Angum school was built by hand by dozens of villagers who want their children to learn what they could not — to read and write in both English and their local language of Mampruli. La’Angum was named after a local saying that translates "many hands make light work,” Iddi-Gubbels said. The cement-block structure has no electricity or plumbing for the 40 students ages 4 to 6 and three teachers. But it has books, paper and blocks, laughter and an evident love of learning. "You go into the classroom and you see the difference,” Iddi-Gubbels said. "The whole room is set up on the child’s level.” The school begins its second year next month. All the students are returning, and an additional 100 students are on a waiting list.
