I found it all funny, educating though!
ReplyDeleteKudos to stella. We are right behind you
ReplyDeleteWell done Stella. You were very articulate and went straight to the point. As for the senator and Ishaq, shame on you for not addressing the issues of the risk of child marriage to the young girls. As for the last guy, you were just completely avoiding the issue. The issue is not that girls need more education, getting married does not stop you from going to school, the issue is child marriage!
