She says that the time after she lost her parents was very bad for her. She was living with her mothers friend, but she was not giving her enough food, all the time when she needed some help, for example; soap, food; her mothers friend said that she could not feed her every day. Some times she had to go hungry all day, she heard that because she is an orphan, she had to be grateful to get anything at all. And her mothers friend would not bring her to school, Christina had to stay at home like a house girl, but because she was very small, she couldn’t clean the house properly, so the mama was yelling at her and  use the stick to her body. One day her uncle was visiting her, she asked him if she could leave together with him, but her uncle said no, I can not bring you to where I am living, because I do not have a room , I am living in my friends room and I don’t have a job. I am eating my friends food, I wash with his soap too. So it will be difficult, even if I see that you are sick , but there is nothing I can do. Maybe this woman will feel sorry for you and will bring you to the hospital. After a while Emma was looking around the village for orphans, and found Christina, she was asked if she would like to come to the orphanage home, then she cried very much and asked to be permitted to come at once. When she now lives in Emma’s CCC, she feels comfortable, she gets a good bed, good food, education, treatment for her sickness, so now she is very happy. And she says that she had never thought that one day she would have the Mzungu to help her life. She had never thought that one day she would be going to school with a nice uniform, nice shoes and nice school books like now. God bless all that are helping us.
