"On a scale of 1 to 10, how am I going to take a shower?" "I can't give that a value... 4?"

Facts:
Teachers in Rwanda make the following monthly wages:
25,000 RWF/ $50 if they graduated high school (comparable/ even less than a farmer)
80,000 RWF/ $160 if they have 2 years of college ed.
120,000 RWF/ $240 if they have 4 years of college ed.

Opinion: Teaching is not a respectable job in Rwanda. People teach because "they do not have a job." I hope I can change this reputation but I know teachers struggle everywhere...

3. Tressa carrying a baby in the traditional Rwandan way. "guheka"
