The school of rock: Schooling is often disrupted by army offensives, forced relocation and military operations against displaced people. However, many people have the courage to face the challenge of survival and to provide basic education to their children.

In Karen areas, even without security or a stable home, parents who arrive in the jungle are trying to encourage their children to learn, hoping at least they would be able to write and read their own language. In some hiding sites parents manage to set up temporary makeshift schools under the trees, using rocks, plastic sheets as blackboards and whatever other material is available.
