My father died when I was 4 years old, so I don’t remember much of him, and my mother died the next year. After that, my mothers brother took me to his home far away from where I had lived with my parents. My uncle had a big family, and they were not happy to have me. I was always told to work, I washed their clothes and walked to collect water for dishwashing and showers. When I was 7 years old I asked if I could start going to school but the family would not let me, I had to stay home and work. I went to school anyway and asked the teachers if I could begin. The teachers gave me permission, but when I came home to my aunt she would not give me food anymore. For some years now the teachers have given me some food at school, but sometimes I had to find food other places and try to cook for myself. I was lucky when I could find food but often I had nothing in my stomach when I went to bed. Now I am living with Emma and feel very happy with the other children, thanks to God. *Bernadetha 2009.*
Benedetha fikk ikke plass på noen skole, ingen ville ha inn unge mødre, rektorene mente hun var et dårlig eksempel. Så derfor ville hun helst komme seg vekk fra landsbyen, så hun tok med seg lille Janet og flyttet til en tante langt ute i bushen. Der deltar hun i det daglige arbeidet med jordbruk og vannbæring. Hun har sendt meldinger om at hun har det bra.
