Many of theses tent communities are starting churches and they say many are coming to know Christ. Also schools are forming in the tent areas...can you imagine going to school in 95 degree weather under a tent in the blazing sun with no desks? Those poor teachers, too! They let them out early a lot because conditions are not conducive to learning. Can you imagine kids in the US with those conditions? That is a dedication to learning and they seem to know, some of them, that it is important to have some education. You see some of the kids, in uniforms, walking long ways in the heat to other better schools. Grade school is in the am, and high school is in the afternoon so only half days. And many kids that do finish school may be 22 to 24 because they don't go every year due to money or a family member is sick, etc. They may miss several years in between grades due to hard times.
