School in the Congo: a smile of the future

Primary schoolchildren are laughing at the camera. Every day they have to walk 2 hours to reach the school, but that does not diminish their enthusiasm. Paul, 13 years (right): ".. My father works from Sunday to Sunday in the mine. I hardly see him. When I grow up I want to have a job that allows me to be with my children."
