Guanlan Sisters' Stories
Schooling has provided the girls with identity, legitimacy, visibility, and respect in the eyes of their families and villagers.
"I saw father and mother suffer such hardship and wither away over time, while mother kept saying, ‘dad and I can bear more hardship and exhaustion, but … we still can’t pay your school fees.’ At this moment, when I thought I would have to drop out of school, the village received the news of your gift, Guanlan Mama. You can’t imagine how happy I was to hear that you would support our and my schooling. We won’t let you down.” - Excerpt from Guanlan Sister's letter
