Youngsters seeing Little Rock for the first time!

My name is Alex Falk. I am nine years old and I live in the U.S. I recently visited the Little Rock School. I think it is amazing how this school can bring education to their students of any age.

For example I visited a class with eighth graders. For some of them they’re here because of a physical disability. They are here because other schools may have rejected them because of their disabilities. But Little Rock is open to everyone!

I also think it’s amazing how the school makes sure nobody feels mistreated because of their looks or how they interact with other people.Seeing this school has changed my life because seeing all these kids who have barely anything at home have so much at this school.

Then there is Patrick who had this to say: Little Rock welcomes children with open arms, regardless of family situations or disabilities. Seeing these kids come out of poverty at home, eager to learn and discover, was so inspiring. It is so, so important to help children around the world get the education they deserve, and Little Rock is taking a big step for Kibera. This experience has been life changing, and I am so thankful that I got to visit the school.
