"Bizunesh Ejersa, 13, Grade 8 student at Dima primary school, Sebeta, Oromia Ethiopia ""Children may not know their rights. Since they are the futures of the country, they need to grow freely. '' ''The right for education is the most important to me. If children are educated today, they will be useful citizens for their family and country tomorrow'' ""Yes, repeatedly. What I would like to tell adults is, instead of ignoring children's' ideas they need to listen to children, accept their views and do what is good, so that they can be good citizens who will be leading the country in the future'' ''I wish, all the community members have the awareness about the rights of children, including those disabled children that are not going to school, and all children growing freely with their all rights respected'' ""What I would like to add is, there is a misunderstanding in the community and girls are undermined, they think sending girls to school is of no use. But, without the involvement of girls/women, there will not be a complete development, like in marriage, the marriage will be incomplete without women. Therefore, I think the community need to change their mind and send girls to school."""
