The camel carries priceless cargo: books for children who can no longer go to school because of coronavirus lockdowns.
Plodding through the desert in remote southwest Pakistan, Roshan the camel carries priceless cargo: books for children who can no longer go to school because of coronavirus lockdowns. The schoolchildren, who live in remote villages where the streets are too narrow for vehicles, put on their best clothes and rush out to meet Roshan. They crowd around the animal, shouting: “The camel is here!” Pakistan’s schools first closed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, and have only opened sporadically since then, with approximately 50 million school-age children and university students told to continue their education from home.
