Lupita said: ¨I think it was not nice that girls were actually not allowed to attend school, because parents thought it was more important for boys." |
Marilyin (2nd from left) said: ¨They had no electricity service, dolls were made of cloth, and there were only one or two schools, if any.¨ |
Emiliano and Jesús said: ¨But their life was much healthier, since they played simple but much more creative games, there was much more agriculture, and they shared much more time together." |
THE WHOLE GROUP TOTALLY AGREED WITH Emiliano and Jesús! |
