Celebrate walking to school in this colourful celebration of education and friendship!

Dawn is breaking and the village children are up and excited. Today is the first day of school and they have a long, long walk ahead of them. It won’t be easy, but they keep going, because school will give them a future and the promise of freedom, so they march together to realise their dreams.
