If you were a 4-yr old girl learning to count at St Bakhita School in Narus, South Sudan, you wouldn't have much trouble visualizing "100." You'd just look around the room! That's how many pre-schoolers squeeze into each class. Counting to 100 would be as simple as ticking off the names of all your new friends.
Pity the teacher besieged by two hundred little hands wanting her attention? No, not really. These girls are eager to learn and happy to be in school. Sure, they're squirmy. And yes, their attention sometimes wanders. But certainly there is no place else they'd rather be!
