What is Rain School about?
On the first day of school in Chad, Thomas and his classmates arrive to find no building, desks, or supplies—only their teacher. She announces their first lesson: to construct their own school. Together, they build a mud-brick classroom, learning the value of education and community effort. As the rainy season approaches, they understand that while the school may wash away, the knowledge they've gained will last forever.
