            A year's worth of textbooks for a student in Grade Nine in rural Bangladesh cost about $13 US Dollars. But many high school students drop out because they can't afford to buy them.

In this short video, I meet a Grade Nine student struggling to buy his textbooks for the year. I buy the books for him and - to show his thanks - he sings a song.

Here is some information in Bangladesh Rickshaw Drivers:

I dedicate this video to all those watching my videos from High Schools back home.

The list was compiled based on those who joined the Uncultured Project Facebook Group at:
