7 hours a day on a floor

Kids in Malawi sit on the floors for 7 hours a day.  In my opinion, they are in desperate need of desks and chairs.  I believe that we take chairs for granted.  It seems like people should help them so that they can get chairs and desks.  This one warehouse made like 30 desks in two days that the kids needed in their school.  How would your back feel if you had to sit 7 hours a day on the floor?

    Malawi must be a hard place to go to school just thinking about it how do kids concentrate or even learn in those conditions. I would hate going to school mater a fact I probably wouldn't go to school. and we think we have it hard ha ha not at all we should be happy with what we have instead of wining about it.
