In Their Own Words
| On the new building: | “The new building has no leaks in the roof and the tables in class don’t break. I’ve very happy to study here.”
|
| On her siblings: | “I have two older brothers and a younger sister. My brothers went to secondary school, but they didn’t finish. They work with my father and mill rice. My sister is in second grade at this school.”
|
| On her future: | “I would like to go to secondary school because I want to get a job. It is important for me to go to school because I need to be able to calculate when I open my business. I don’t know what I will sell.” |
