South Sudanese Teacher Working With Refugees Of All Ages

Teacher Koat Reath is a refugee from South Sudan. His students are, too. They smile as they sing along with him in their classroom.

Koat and his students are living at the Jewi refugee camp in Gambella, Ethiopia. They have fled fighting in their homeland. Koat believes that education is the solution to a better future in South Sudan.
