Alchi School Project

Incidental hitchhiking on a ’school bus’ near the remote village of Alchi led to exploring this charming primary school. It’s located in the desert not far from the Indus river, teaching few dozens young children subjects like Math, Science and English.

Once the school bus arrives at the school, all kids form a “friendship circle”

Each kid then hugs every other kid, greeting each other for a friendly day
