I will encourage girl’s
education through giving them empowerment so that they develop intrinsic
motivation and become resilience to any challenge that may contributes to their
drop out from the school. I will empower them through guidance and counseling
and also tell them my life story of how I was once a girl like them who grew up
in a refugee camp and faced similar challenges as they are facing. But because
I didn’t give up, the result is the education I attained and they could as well
attain their education and become what they wish to be in future if they let
the challenges they are facing motivates them to work more hard than discourage
them to leave the school. I could give the guidance and counseling through
having regular meeting with them as a group and also by meeting them
individually depending on their various needs. I will also struggle to make
sure that our girls are involve in sport activities because this could increase
their interest to continue coming to school and forget some of the home
problems they are facing and concentrate on their studies. By so doing, I will
get to know them better and see a way that I can intervene in extreme
circumstances that are beyond their control. I know that together we will
succeed in supporting both the boys and girls because each of us have faced,
and are still facing various challenges and we all have diverse stories to tell
our students. Those stories plus guidance and counseling will empower them to
continue with their education. Are you ready to join in the fight against
female illiteracy in South Sudan?
