Yesterday, I traveled two hours away from Bangalore with my boss to do field work. We went to an all women's school for females that grew up in slum areas and lack a lot of what we would consider basic education. Because of liability, the school is for girls over the age of 18 and all were probably younger than 25. It's so unbelievably different, a lot of the girls have to learn and experience waking up early in the morning for the first time, how to type on a computer and send an email, how to clean things, their basic rights, and how to form the ideas in their heads into audible and cohesive sentences. This school is amazing. In under 4 months, they have to teach all of these girls these skills along with low level English and beautician schools so they have a career path when they graduate from the school.
