Abdoulie Jallow isn’t like the other sixth graders. He’s twice the height of his classmates, often sits with the teachers at recess and has to work after school to support himself. Abdoulie is 25 years old – and finally back in school after a 12-year hiatus
There’s a saying that goes: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” And so, I wait. I wait for teachers to show up to school. I wait for students to be assigned classes. I wait for meetings to begin. I wait for lessons to be taught.
