| Follow the road to one TLC outreach. |
 |
| The first group of boys to arrive are gathered for health education. |
 |
| One student on the run… |
 |
| …Many more are ahead and especially behind. |
 |
| Take a bypath and a shortcut. |
 |
| A TLC bus and trailer is on the move. |
 |
| A grandmother accompanies her younger grandchildren. She will sell what’s in her bucket at the outreach. |
 |
| Note the first TLC bus to arrive and two large supply trucks. It’s still early morning, so patients and schoolkids just begin to arrive. |
 |
| Different colors of uniforms convey how many schools are coming. Four, maybe five, schools are represented in this photo. |
 |
| Determination is sketched on these children’s faces. “We’re almost there.” |
 |
| From the road most traveled, glance across from one Eswatini mountain range to another. |
 |
| Another school arrives in the afternoon. The students walked from afar to get here. |
