17 year old Mahmoyd in a classroom with a stack of books. He lives in Amman with his parents and nine siblings. After his father had a brain stroke, he was forced to leave school at the age of 14 and earn the family's income. He says 'I was devastated when I had to leave school. I dream of having as much knowledge as possible. Knowing things is the key to everything. I could have a decent living and say yes to whatever comes along. It is such a big difference: without education you don't have a chance in life.'
