Belair actually an auto eno should be in school instead the 15 year old is either rich home in nairobis cave bere a slum or shes helping her mother sell charcoal on the streets of kenyas capital just to make ends meet. Those distant. And courage but. Yes look at. The deputy head teacher of bella school is also frustrated for her students by the closure one thought they might get i think that if. We do not begin taking our building up the form and that this is they will all be that is what the defense is going to be so its not easy and then in your genes it was a good thing kakamega in west kenya these siblings are trying to follow a School Lesson on t. V. But its far from ideal i am not happy because i am going to be to my stand in the 7 i had planned where they were to become a doctor when i graduate in the rest but it will delay. Hopes father is a farmer he sold his 4 prized bulls to help pay for his 6 childrens education now he fears he will never get that money back. Thats right you accuse them of sort of knowing that now if the government decides not to refund the fees we paid last time then im worried they were noble similar to the ones i sold im only left with the dairy cattle to get money i now fear that my children may not finish their education so that you know you know whole theory they go into it wrong watermans a muslim were used to educators to all concerned for their livelihoods this is the classroom calvin deraa should be teaching math and swahili. Instead hes working as a laborer on a government run project and some money he fears for the Mental Health of fellow teaches. Somebody from are really under pressure and on some of the deaths. Of the dead coming across and if the government continuing silence on that experience more data. But for now schools in kenya remain empty and only less the government changes its mind this is the best children like who can hope for. And im now joined by dr mary stephen she is with the devil u h o Regional Office for africa welcome to deja vu news africa dr stephen most schools in africa remain closed how how disastrous could it be for children if this doesnt change. There are reports of increasing. And expose exploitation for kids increasing child who pregnancy and as you know enough because some of door schools who. Receive a musin school end to get there and less at home didnt miss out on this news which could. So yes i ask. Can not be economy it is also impacting on that should do and out of school. Dr stephen a lot d of authorities in Different Countries have made the case that that some schools are just not fit to reopen crowded classrooms they lack of sanitation isnt that a case for not reopening schools. So what we had was in these 4 countries to do their research meant to look at the situations in school. That is difficult to remain in the senate and. Classist governments need to look at alternative measures its just the same with parts of the interventions like so home care of. Patients week 19 in africa this week mal kisses and this in dont mind to get this in some homes are not suitable for home care and go from in south florida i think isolation sent us where people can safely isolate their families and the same goes with us if you want to provide that the government has to provide an alternative if the school most of those areas secondly jenna fulfil all schools 1st of all he said they have to look at. It here dont you because situation and making sure that these kids. Do so sharp these can seem is just the long balls that become of the sunshine the peace making sure they have access to what are.

Yes so so that the decision to cancel.
