THEY NEED TO GO TO SCHOOL Merry is 23 years old and has 2 two children. Merry experienced difficult situation in taking care of her children but she tried to keep her children healthy. Merry said “I always prepare food in the morning, afternoon and evening for my children and family because I am worried that if my children do not eat, they will get sick”. She made an effort to wash dirty clothes and bathe her children every day to keep them clean. She also always tries to create a clean and safe home environment to avoid mosquito bites. Merry actively participates in Yasera’s Family Strengthening activities every week. The lessons shared by staff made her more enthusiastic about taking care of her family. Although she feels the messages are hard to carry out, she tries to implement them. Merri said, “later when my children grow up healthy, they should go to school because education is important, this is what Yasera teaches”. Education can help in shaping children’s character so that they have a bright future. Merry hopes that her children will be able to go to school even to finish college.
