Dear mum

Thank you for your help and advice. How could I survive without you? Thank you again and kiss dad for me.

A danger at our school

Our school has neither a first-aid room nor a first-aid team. It is not in a nice place. Pupils are exposed to many dangers and have accidents. The playground is very small but there are more than 2,000 pupils. At break-time we have to squeeze onto the balcony and verandas. Many pupils fall into the stream because our playground is not fenced in. Water doesn't flow from taps any more. Pupils go a long way to fetch water that is dirty and exposes them to diseases. There's no electricity at our school. I am afraid of catching cholera.

Wild dogs

I am afraid of dogs. They are fierce. They eat raw meat. They are wild! This woman in the picture was afraid of the dog.
