I was impressed
by their dedication to learning, even though the teachers allocated to the
prison school often don’t come and health services are erratic. The children, all
of them boys, dream of continuing their education and leading productive lives
in their community upon release.
“I just
want to go back to school when I get out,” said Hadi*. In prison, the boys have
been learning art, music, drama and practical skills like printing. The boys
are selling their work as part of an NGO-supported project to promote their
return to community life.
