This morning we began at an official department, and I interviewed someone there. He discussed many programs in place to attempt to reduce the high drop out rate and encourage more children to return to school.
After, Betty and I each did two focus groups at a secondary school for girls. We both found these girls to be quite forthcoming about their experiences, hopes, and concerns. As we left the school we discussed our groups and found a good bit of overlap in what we heard. that reassured me a bit, as I was concerned that they may find it hard to be forthcoming with me, a "moto" they have never seen before and may never see again.
Happy Thanksgiving!
