During one of our engagements with children that we work with, we were supposed to come up with solutions to help the girls with menstrual health hygiene. looking at the basic challenges that most girls face, we already had our solutions to helping these girls. when we got there, we asked them how they would love to be assisted. Their challenges and solutions to those challenges on menstrual health management were completely different with what we had in mind and their ideas were even more brilliant. This helped us understand that children sometimes what they need and should be allowed to participate in programs that involve them. If we had just gone with our solution, they would have accepted it but it would not really solve the challenges they had.
