They had this program that take about 30 young boys toa boarding school name Baraka in Africa for 2 years to. The idea is to take them out of the society they know and place them in a more focus safe society where the don't have to worry about nothing but school. These boys was out of Baltimore, in some of the worst schools and was doing horrible in their classes. They were not performing on the level they should have been . They grades and behavior was terrible. So this Baraka school gave these boys a opportunity to go further in life instead of staying in the same poor society they grew up in . Once these boys was put out if their confront zone and exposed to a new society, all of them were doing good in school and was looking forward to going to high school and graduate . This is a prime example of how much your society can really play apart in your education. These boys didn't have to worry about what problems they parents were facing or over crowded classes. They didn't have to be around negative people or children that didn't want to br something in life . Their teachers worked with them and let them know they could do whatever they wanted to do and they and even their class mates gave them motivation because when they see somebody else doing good , they want to go good. Sadly the boys were not able to go back to the school the next year because of a war going on and some of boys began to go back to their old habbits.
