SIERRA LEONE: Adult Literacy

Adult literacy class in Gbindi. It often takes adults years to become literate, as family responsibilities make it difficult to have classes more than once or twice a week. The fact that a lot of students have difficulties even holding a pen properly, speaks volumes of the long struggle towards literacy.
