Students in Guinea go to the airport to study. The reason why is both inspiring and disheartening.

Students in Guinea go to the airport to study. The reason why is both inspiring and disheartening.

Conakry International Airport is an airport located in the capital of the Republic of Guinea in West Africa. Guinea, an incredibly poor country, only has access to electricity in about 5% of it's buildings. As a result, there are many regions in the country that have no electricity. The airport is one of the few places that always has electricity!




The airport parking lot has become somewhat of a popular destination for students trying to study for exams, because it is one of the few places in the country that is open to the public and is always illuminated by electric lamps!




Do you think it's inspiring or disheartening to hear that the students need to study for their exams in a parking lot? On one hand, they are determined to pass their exams so they travel a significant distance to study. On the other hand, the country is so poor that they don't have electricity in most regions of the nation, and are thus forced to go.
