"Like many kids, you may complain occasionally about having to go to school. But can you imagine not having a school? This is the reality for many children around the world. Some kids live in war-torn regions where traveling to and from school simply isn't safe. Some countries have schools, but they don't allow girls to attend them. Other areas once had schools, but they were destroyed when a natural disaster, like an earthquake, struke. Fortunately, numerous organizations exist to help the millions of people around the world who want to improve their lives--and the lives of others--through education."--Back cover The power of one School boys and girls Finding refuge-and education Off the streets and into school Closer to home What you can do to help.
