    "In my village, people still treat boys and girls differently so, I personally approach them and try to convince them that it is necessary that we educate our girls which will benefit the family itself in the long term."

    "So, I don't think you should be choosy when it comes to charity. You should contribute to the society in your own capacity which will help in the overall development of the country," she said.
