In Their Own Words. . .
| On the new building: | “I like the new building because it is very nice. There are no holes in the roof, and it is easy to study during lessons.”
|
| On her free time: | “I carry water from the well to home to fill our water jars, cook and chop firewood. I like to play hide-and-seek with my friends.”
|
| On her future: | “I plan to graduate from primary school and then secondary school and then high school. My parents want me to finish high school because they want me to get more understanding.” |
