Mimi
As one of five children, Mimi (age 8) spends most of her day collecting firewood and water. Her parents will soon choose which one of their children will go to school. Mimi said she would love to go but doesn’t believe she will: Not only is her help crucial to the family’s survival, but parents also customarily choose boys over girls to receive an education.
