In developing countries, education is not a given right but a privilege for those who can afford it. In these cases, families sell what little they have to keep their children in school and often can't continue their education. In addition, children have many chores in the early morning hours, walk far distances to school, are usually hungry, and worry about drought. Children try to study and read by candlelight at night because electricity is too expensive. Yet astonishingly, they often give the biggest smiles with warm hearts. Through native songs and dance, children find solace in a challenging childhood, usually fraught with unimaginable loss. Please support the Kids Share Workshops mission by purchasing our Kids Share Zambia book and other collections. We have a moving Kids Share Zambia short and documentary film, giving a powerful voice to youth and their communities. We hope to create a documentary Kids Share Workshops series alongside our published books. Children who worry about continued education hope you will pay attention and hear their voices through Kids Share Workshops, by helping to make our world smaller through the power of publishing.
