Interviewing people on the street

Isaac interviewing a wheelbarrow boy
We found out that the wheelbarrow boys leave school at Std 7 because their parents can't afford to send them to school any longer.  They say that their parents have no education, that's why they couldn't get good jobs to earn money to pay for their children's education, and now they don't have the education to get good jobs, so the cycle will continue.  One boy said that on a good day he earns TSH3000, which is about US$2.50.  From that money, he has to pay his room rent, buy food, save up to get married one day and send money to his family who are very poor and live far away!
