Everyone is interested in education. All over the world, in big countries and in small<br />
countries, in cities and in villages, people are building better schools.<br />
In one little village in Philippine there was no school at all. A typhoon blew down the<br />
old school and many of the homes in the village. When the storm was over, everyone set<br />
<br />
to work to build new homes and a new school. They cut bamboo poles to make the walls<br />
of the school and used palm leaves for the roof. To separate the rooms, they built screens<br />
of grass and palm leaves fastened to bamboo frames. On hot days all of the screens could<br />
be pushed back to let in as much air as possible. Even the children helped. They made<br />
paths of stone and sand, and planted flowers along the edges.<br />
Soon a fine new village school was finished. It didn’t take any money to build this fine<br />
school, but it took a lot of hard work. No wonder everyone was proud of it. And all were<br />
proving that everyone was interested in education.<br />
