The Rush

Charles Leadbeater

Chapter Chapter 2 in The Frugal Innovator, 2014, pp 8-18 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Aziz Sagir sits intent and alert on a simple sofa in her bare apartment, her small face tightly drawn by her headscarf. In the densely packed Istanbul suburb of Esenler Merkez, the streets are so narrow it seems almost possible to touch the apartment buildings opposite. Aziz puts a protective arm around her four-year-old son Samet to encourage him to complete the worksheet that sits in front of them on a low table. He concentrates hard, keen to impress his mother; she responds by gently praising his efforts. The worksheet comes from a programme Aziz has enrolled in with about 20 other young mothers from the area, to prepare their children to go to school.
