Hushe village, one of the remote village in the north of Pakistan, just before the entry of the Karakorum Nation Park, the last village before wild mountain regions.
As I have written in last post (Hushe school), we visited the main school of the village.
We could take pics to women, but only while they are reading.
Here first impact with the place. Children were proud to show us their drawings!
I felt a lot of sociality between children, they weren't always in front of a smartphone like European children.
More happiness, more kindness, more smile, more physical contacts than in Italy! I love Pakistan also for that reason!
Females were shy, they didn't like to be photographed, but they were a bit amused and curios in front of a rare stranger from Europe:
Teachers were very kind with us, offering apricots and chai, and taking us to visit rooms. Thanks so much for hospitality!
This is the main room and the laboratory:
Here the 6th and 7th class.
A teacher explained to us that a child belongs to class or another depending on the passed exams, and not depending mainly on age.
Males and females were studying in the same room, this is due to a missing of resources to build a second school, but most of all because sane competition between males and females stimulates learning and socialitazion.
Thanks to all of them for this opportunity! I felt the real freshness and power of new generations.
Study to be free!
