The photo above show the two SRC participants during the time teachers and community members spoke to the SRC.
Note #2: The problem with the camera angle and interruptions in the field of view are due to placement of the camera. The SRC has confined our camera to a “press box” which is located in the middle of the audience thus the quality of the video.
