No Toilets

I was just reading the New York Times, and it never fails, anytime that I read any sort of news about Africa, it breaks my heart. This story was about how schools in sub-Saharan Africa have no toilets, and therefore when girls have their periods they basically either skip school for those few days or drop-out. I only wish that I could send them 4 of the 5 toilets that my parents have in their house. Also, the teachers, who have no access to toilets, are forced to urinate out in open fields, for all to see. Not only is it unsanitary, but there is no privacy.
