“I left... my family when I was 7, so... I was thinking... what can I do to keep the kids home, by their community, by their families, but... to attend education. Education is so highly needed, and so... after I got the scholarship and I started to study architecture, I grew the idea... solve this... creating the school.., but the school should be within the reality of the people: the social context, the economical context and the cultural context. ...[P]eople used to work together. If it come[s] to building, you need the entire community, and that['s] what I've done.”
