A difficult path through school
For Helen and Gloria, continuing their education has required perseverance. They are orphans living in poverty, and they were not sure they would be able to complete senior high school after struggling to finish junior high school.
The uncertainty they faced reflects how difficult it can be for children and young people to remain in school when financial hardship affects their education. For Helen and Gloria, the possibility of completing senior high school was not always certain.
