The Rainbow Troops by Andrea Hirata
"Every Citizen Has The Right To An Education"
From
the very first day of their educational lives this small group of
children were struggling to obtain what is for many a basic human right,
an education. An opportunity that was almost lost to them even before
it began, the sacrifices, struggles and successes these children
encountered are recounted to us through the eyes of Ikal. At the hands
of a man who dedicated his life to teaching and a young girl who was
determined to teach so that others may succeed, Ikal and his friends are
able to experience what so many of their family members and fellow
countrymen were not able to, the joy of learning.
The Rainbow Troops
are a group of children who learnt how empowering an education was to
self-development. These were children with nothing and with no chance of
a future, but who through an education dared to dream of a better life.
Through their struggles is gained a new appreciation for the
opportunities that most people take for granted, a childhood with a
chance to learn, play and grow. A touching story that will lead you
through the good times and the hard times of a life lived in poverty,
struggling for understanding and never giving up.
