Child reading by the roadside as he sells banana.

Many children in our societies go through various challenges to sustain their studies. Most of them only find time to read while in school, when they get back home, the amount of work awaiting them is just too much.

I was so inspired when i saw this kid with his book trying to read and absorb something by the roadside as he sells banana for his poor mother after school.

This is just an example of the many students who face various challenges out there to excel in their academics, some even get tired on the way, not because they are tired of going to school but because they can't afford the cost, or balance their education with chores at home.

When I was 7, I used to go to school and sneak out during games time to go back home and hustle for food for our family because my mother was so sick and I was the firstborn in our family. If not for the encouraging and inspiring role models, I would have given up on the way. This is a situation for many children in our societies.
