I didn't like coming to school before, I was losing the year but when I started coming to barefoot classes I wanted to go back to school and get through the year. I have learned to be more friendly and less painful. I like it because in the classes we play, paint and have fun.
Children already enrolled or part of the Centro Aprende strategy to stay in school, in their cities.
