It’s a privilege, you know.
Education.

None of these people can afford to send their children to school. They’d rather have their kids with them, working in the fields or out at sea with them. Then they have to pay for uniforms, shoes, books. Why?
Because they want their children to read and write.
They might not realize it but they believe in the future of this country.
