CUPPA QUESTIONS – ANSWER SHEET How to play: Cut out the questions from QUESTIONS_PAGE1.pdf and QUESTIONS_PAGE2.pdf, and put them in a cup.

If women get education, “we want nothing else,” she added. “We will fight our way into every field, but we need the main key - which is education.” http://theunknowncandidate.blogspot.com/ 2007/04/inspiration-from-kenya.html [This is a bit dated – check out www.lunapads.com/pads4girls.html - note: Menstrual Monday not affiliated with Lunapads!] 10.
