On the other end of the economic spectrum from Dubai is Lusaka, Zambia.  This is a primary school run by Family Legacy Ministries.  The kids in this school are for the most part from  informal neighborhoods and many are orphans.  Since 73% of the Zambian population is uneducated past the 3rd grade this group has set a goal to raise a generation of kids to be educated  leaders in their country and are building schools to accomplish that goal.  The construction is done with local materials and technology and creates a nice environment for learning.
