He was building in a place called the Plywood Palace. It was this ramshackle structure that was thrown up during World War II. And it was supposed to be torn down, and they didn't tear it down.
But when I was on day two of my trek, I met a headmaster who wanted to show me his school. It was a really ramshackle , dilapidated school, dirt floors, no desks, 80 children crammed in a room that probably should not held more than 20. And then he said, well come and see the school's library.
