This Amazing School Bag Doubles As A Desk For Needy Students
Aarambh, a new Bombay-based NGO, has created a briefcase-like backpack that can fold out to become a desk during the day. And the company is distributing them to children who lack resources in rural India (via Huffington Post).
The Help Desk is made from discarded carton boxes in India, and stenciled out to create a desk that folds up to a book bag, for less than 20 cents a piece.
Most children in rural India lack basic necessities in school, even chairs and desks. Aarambh says in a video that students sitting on the floor all day with hunched backs leads to "bad posture, poor eyesight, and bad handwriting."
In order to remedy this, Aarambh distributed Help Desks throughout schools in rural Maharashtra, a state in the western region of India, and says students were able to study more "comfortably and cheerfully."
