Photographer’s Note

When I popped my head into a classroom, it was an explosion of school children quiet in their studies making use of every inch of space.

I saw nearly a dozen more classes from the doorway - all equally packed.

Hello Dan,
I can see that when you entered the classroom all attention went out to you.
I think it's a very beautiful picture showing the wondering faces of all these children eager to learn and this in a difficult life situation.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Dan,
A lot of wide angle distortion from a technical point of view but I believe that what matters much more is that you provide a stunning witness of these packed school classes. A lesson for all of us in the West complaining whenever there is some tiny lack of comfort. At the same time a sign of hope that this generation is eager to learn...
Regards,
Paul

Hi Dan,
Not enough desks, no computers and certainly no air conditioning. Yet a packed classroom full of well-behaved children wanting and wishing to acquire knowledge. Fortunate in some way, unfortunate in others. 118 children no less... Photographs like this really make an impact on our 'lucky' lives. I wonder what they were being taught?
To all the best, Casper

That's heartening. How did we ever ger so jaded here in the states where we pay millions and continue to discuss why Johhnie can't read? Beautiful shot. Thanks, Judy

Hello Dan,
How dynamic! An impression of children overflowing from the frame making good use of 107°angle of view is truly wonderful. The eyes of children all together looking at you invite me to visit to Uganda.
