The orange seller who opened a school

Outlook

Available for over a year

Harekala Hajabba is from India. He didn't have an education himself - but he's making sure that the next generation in his village gets one. Harekala started by putting aside savings from selling oranges in the city of Mangalore, to start a school in his village. He went on to persuade private donors and the government to support him - and now the school is named after him. Through an interpreter, Harekala told Matthew Bannister his story.
