As in conflicts and natural disasters, the future of children is always at stake. In the aftermath of the earthquake, more than 100,000, according to UNICEF, had their lives completely changed forever. Their education became dependent on donations received, as governmental actions are conspicuous by their absence. Four months after the earthquake, the El Baraka Angels organization set up a temporary school where they attend classes and sleep.
In the immensity of the Atlas, the children play, forgetting what they have lived and who they have lost. Their future has no direction, but neither did it before. Teachers said that what they experienced there was horrible and that it makes teaching very difficult. If in the rural areas the opportunities for children were already few, now they are almost non-existent.
