In Electricity-Starved Guinea, Children Study Under Airport Lights
Young Guineans study under the dim parking lot lights at G'bessi Airport in Conakry, Guinea Wednesday, June 6, 2007. Only about a fifth of Guinea's 10 million people have access to electricity and even those that do, experience frequent power cuts. With few families able to afford generators, students long ago discovered that the airport is one of the few places where the lights never go out. This photo by Rebecca Blackwell (Associated Press) speaks volumes.
