Our free school system here is public and for everyone. There are many projects and lots of hidden expenses from PTA fees, to buying cleaning supplies for the classroom, and other misc things. It is common for the poor to drop out because they cannot afford these minor expenses. When they come up we try to find sponsors for the kids, and then they earn it working on their local activity area, Subangan. We never have them work on our house or any of our private things it is always community or their play area so they are helping themselves as they earn the money. This way it means more to them as they have invested in it. Here are some of the boys bringing the dunk rims to put them up for a busy Saturday at Subangan.
