Let`s salute the spirit of Right Education!!
A photo exhibition launched by SIPA Press, UNESCO & Veolia Transdev, "Journeys to School" tells an inspiring story of girls' and boy's journey to school. It is not about misery and isolation -- but courage and determination.
We learn about children's quest for education despite all obstacles -- gender inequality, poverty, social-exclusion, conflict, lack of public transportation, urban insecurity, natural hazards. These children travel long distances on foot, or by bus, boat, bicycle, rickshaw, sled or subway to get to school. They brave deserts, mountains, rivers, snow and ice. These images carry a message of hope -- this exhibit shows if there is a will there is a way, but children can't do it alone. We must help them on their journey -- families, communities, public authorities and private sector partners. Together, we can help them overcome the obstacles, get to school and stay. Education is a human right.
