It really is a sad state of affairs, isn't it? It hurts my heart to stand in those shoes and empathize; in fact, it is something that is very difficult to do.

The last school that I taught at teamed with Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya to pay for specifically girls to attend school, believing that the only way to change the future is through their education and will to change the system, or at least change their own futures.

This is something many in the "Western" world have no knowledge of and I would venture to guess, would find it pretty unbelievable.
