A Day In The And Home Of A Child In An Informal Settlement


Day of Life in a Informal Settlement Blog Post
—————————————————————


Last night it was a nightmare, I could not sleep because the rain was poring from all directions in the walls in my shake.Morning I had to wake up and get dressed in my one pair of clothes for school, I was not in the mood to go to school, because the rain in the shake almost fulled up everything with water. I wish in our shake it would be made out of brick for the rain to stop coming in and making a flood , then I would be happy.On the way to school in the drizzled, I was said because I did not even have shoes to were.Now I am in school, as the teacher was handing out 10 note books for 60 kids, I got my one pencil and then I started to write . I looked around at the everyone and I saw that some kids have know pencil not even some stationary. I felt sad for some kids including myself. We had to write how we feel about school. So then I thought about what to write I got  so frustrated that I just closed my eyes and thought for a long time.  

Finally I got something, something sad just like my life. So I said my life at school.... , every morning I wake up to a horrible start of the day. Sometimes I wake up in rain, and it’s almost time to go to school, and I am so hungry that I have to eat at school. So I get dressed in my one pair of clothes, I walk to school everyday with a hungry stomach . Then I go to school and eat food what they give us to eat, and sometimes I don’t even like the food. I do my work, in books that we fight for because we only have 10 note books in a class. (60 kids in class) I do my work learn new things, and then afterwards walk home and sleep and then repeat my life. I wish my life can change so I can have more pairs of clothes to wear, and more shoes. And my biggest wish of all is a new house made out of bricks, so we can stop living like this horrible place.

    Thank you Lené. Some good insight, but a fair bit of repetition and lack of editing.
