Rain SchoolIt is the first day of school in Chad, Africa. Children are filling the road. Will they give us a notebook? Thomas asks. Will they give us a pencil? Will I learn to read? But when he and the other children arrive at the schoolyard, they find no classroom, no desks. Just a teacher. We will build our school, she says. This is our first lesson. James Rumford, who lived in Chad as a Peace Corps volunteer, fills these pages with vibrant ink and pastel
It is the first day of school in Chad, Africa. Children are filling the road.
Will they give us a notebook? Thomas asks.Will they give us a pencil?
Will I learn to read? But when he and the other children arrive at the schoolyard, they find no classroom, no desks. Just a teacher. We will build our school, she says. This is our first lesson. James Rumford, who lived in Chad as a Peace Corps volunteer, fills these pages with vibrant ink-and-pastel colors of Africa and the spare words of a poet to show how important learning is in a country where only a few children are able to go to school.

Poor Quality
This suit was for my nephews school dance. The look is great however, its not of good quality. The material is cheap and looks as though it should be a costume. When my nephew tried it on it looked baggy. I returned the suit but have yet to receive a refund.

Awesome and stylish shoe!
Size: 12, Color: Brown
What a great shoe, especially for the price. Feels very comfortable on my feet. Only wore them on one occasion so far, but had them on all day and they felt great and didn't get any blisters. The shoe looks WAY more expensive than it is. Great shoe from a great brand!

Nice Comfortable, Affordable Dress Shoes
Size: 10.5, Color: Black
Nice affordable dress shoes. Fit well. Leather upper. Waxed laces stay tied better. Lightweight, comfortable shoe, but they have a sturdy rubber sole. Recommended.
