You can probably remember coming home from school. You carried a book-bag or backpack. In your book-bag or backpack, you carried your pencils, crayon, paper, workbooks, notebook, rules, compass, and etc. Now, your backpack includes tissue, and may be a bottle of hand-sanitizer. And your school teacher prepared a list of required items.
Most rural Congolese children don't have books,notebooks, and other school supplies. So, they don't need a book-bag or backpack. If they are lucky and fortunate, they may have a pen and some papers. The teacher is just happy if you can pay your school fees because that's the required item.
