My days were f i l led wi th secur ing food and water, but also simply being together, talking together, building houses together. I remember the room where my grandmother would sit and tell stories with a little light, while we would gather closely to each other and her voice inside the room surrounded us, forming a safe place.

When he was 7 years old, Kéré traveled nearly 40 kilometers to attend school because his village, Gando, did not have one of its own. He had to study in a classroom with poor lighting and ventilation that was often overheated and overcrowded with more than one hundred other kids.

Trapped in that extreme environment, Kéré swore to make schools better one day. 5 10 15 20 25 Overcrowded primary schoo l c l assroom in Burkina Faso Gando, Burkina Faso 90 I Unit 4 Culture for Humanity, Community for All
