A day in the life of a child in a informal settlement
Last night I had to study under the lamppost because I don’t have a light in my shack.It started drizzling so I had to walk back home.As I got home everything was wet.I decided to go to bed but then I heard a loud party going on and I could not go to bed.My mom was so mad because everything was so wet. In the morning I had to get ready for school but I realized my clothes are sopping wet so I just had to wear them and go to school.Before I left I asked my mom is there any breakfast and my mom said no we don’t have any food so I went to school starving.I had to walk 2km to walk to get to school. .I got to school and I was ready for work but there was only ten textbooks so we had to share.I was starving and I could not focus.At brake they gave us some lunch and I was so happy.After school I was walking home and then I got bullied the pushed me down to the ground and said I am so poor and they started laughing then I ran away sobbing.i got home and shouted to my mom can’t you ...
