These are Kiambu County, Kenya students that are studying for their final exams. Some of the students in this photo are privileged to be writing on classroom desks. Other students however are writing on the surface of chairs to complete their classwork responsibilities. Regardless of these challenging circumstances, many of their parents come from poor farming backgrounds and were never afforded the educational opportunities that their children in this pic now have.
