- Notes
- Ida and Diana went to Maliga to teach about school dropouts. The community had government officials who were fumigating their homes. We sat for some time and decided to move house to house, it is from here that we met Juma, Esther and Fatuma who were victims of school dropouts. Esther is in primary seven, while Juma and Fatuma are in primary six. These children have a kiosk where they try to get some money to earn a living. They now prefer to do that business rather than being at school. They told us that their parents don’t have money and that they prefer them doing that business. Diana and Ida asked them where their parents were, they said that they had gone to the garden. Diana talked to them and told them dangers of being a school drop which include early pregnancies, getting married at a young stage, being mocked by the educated ones, leaving in a poverty life. Ida told them that no person will want to associate with the person who dropped out of school. She encouraged them to embrace education and love it so much, because it will make their parents and the community happy. Diana and Ida promised to talk to their parents when they come for lessons.
