- Farihalh Mahamt Saleh, Student (Narrator translates)
- Since I started school I’ve missed class perhaps only once. Otherwise, I never skip school.
- Narrator
- The girls are especially happy to attend school. Although, they do have to balance their education with the demands of their families.
- Beina Ahmat Adam, Student (Narrator translates)
- Everyday I go to school at 7 in the morning, and eat at mid-day. After school, I go to fetch water and then I do my homework.
- Narrator
- Beina and Farihalh are fortunate, they’re still in school. Many girls their age stop going when they reach 11 or 12 because they’re either married off or have too many household chores to do.
