I learnt that girls are not allowed to school because of their time of month. Specifically as they do not have the towels to keep the classrooms clean. Every month, pretty much by clockwork, girls forfeit their classrooms, their teachers, their classmates just because it's "that" time.
I was told that education is number one thing. A young 11 year old flood survivor the other week was telling me how proud he was to start school but a month ago. In a Haitian slum repeatedly a school builder said education is his number one goal.
Still learning... even now... especially now
