A rundown and dilapidated building serves as a school facility for elementary school students in rural communist Laos.
The Ban Buamlao Primary School in Ban Buamlao, Laos, stands empty near the end of the day. Most of the students who attend the school return home immediately after the bell is rung to perform their chores, which include caring for livestock and fowl, or collecting wood.
