When Sirenita was around 7, she told me she wanted to go to school...she was home schooled (was reading at 2 years old) and when I asked her why she
said she wanted to wear one of those cool uniforms!!!
She started school the next semester in GN.

the big problem with the school uniforms is that the ninos family is responsible for purchasing them and sometimes, a LOT of the time, it is a huge
burden...in secondaria, the kids have to buy their uniforms AND all their books and associated items...it's actually a huge stumbling block down here
in allowing families to send their kids to school at all...i think if the gov't would assist with uniforms and books, a lot more youngsters would be
getting an education.

When Cody was in 2nd grade she attended school in Ensenada. She loved her uniform too. The school did have an extra supply of donated uniforms that
children had outgrown.
Not only did we have to buy books and the regular school related supplies, but we had to supply Cody with her own toilet paper and soap for the
bathroom.
The boys and the girls of Cody's school wore the same color, burgundy. Pompano, do the boys in Mulege have to wear pink as well?

Worse yet, the uniforms change frequently and you can't buy a uniform expecting to pass it down to your other kids. The uniform makers win.

I have always been amazed at the school kids coming from dirt floor casas in their sparkling clean school clothes. It's one of the little things of
Baja that I love.

Just School kids? How about everyone? When a strong Mexican mother is in charge of the house- no one leaves with a smudge or wrinkle. When they
leave the house clean and fresh they are free of the stigma of poverty.
