She do not remember her mothers death, she lived with her sister and father, her mother died short after she gave birth to her. She did not know that her father was sick, but one day when she was sleeping, suddenly she heard people crying, and her sister said where can we go, and how can we live, but I did not know anything. After a time there were a lot of people in our home and our aunt told me that our father was dead. After the burial of our father our aunt took us to her house because the house we lived with our father was rented, it did not belong to us.

After me and my sister came to our aunt, we did not have peace in her house. Some time we get very small amounts of food, and sometimes we did not get any, and sometimes we did not know where to sleep. Sometimes we had food from the neighbours. After four months my sister started to be a sick of malaria, but aunt did not bring her to the hospital. Then our grandma took us to her small house, but she did not have the money to bring my sister to the hospital and she asked me to find some food to us. After two months my sister got crazy, so now my sister is walking around carrying a bag of garbage, and they still have not brought her to hospital. I feel very happy to be in Emma’s CCC, together with the other children. Now I am sure I will grow bigger, and mama (Emma) will bring me to school, it will be fun to my heart. Thank you all for your help.
