My name I Martna, she says, I come from Msolwa village, I don't know about my father, but I remember my mother. She was a very good mother to me, my sister and my brothers. She made food for us and washed me, but she was sick for very long and one day she died. We moved to my mother's sister, but my aunts husband he is not good. When he has something he gives it to his own children, not to us. So when I am old enough and have a house and he comes to visit me I will not give him anything.

This is what Martina says, because she is only a small girl and don't know so much. But she tells that when they were going to bed at night, her aunt's children told her to sleep on the ground, not in the bed with them. Martina felt very bad about her situation, but she says that her aunt was a good woman. Also she thanks now to be at ECCC so she can go to school and have her own life.
