Look at the portraits Students throughout the world fight for the same ideal: to move forward, to make a career. As universal as this aim is, as universal is their housing usually consisting of a bed, a small seating area, some posters on the wall and clutter on the ground. Another resemblance is: parents in many countries put away any extra money to finance the education of at least one of their children. They are often supported by siblings, uncles and aunts. And then that dream to move forward, to have a career, becomes a dream of more persons than just that one student on the photo.
