A Day in the Life and Home of a Child in an Informal Settlement

Life is very hard for me because I have to try and live in a informal settlement.
People like me don't have any water resources we struggle to find clean water to drink from.Every night I wonder if I will live till the next day, because there sometimes bullet shooting going on and, I don't know if it will effect me!.

If someone gets hurt there is know one to help in case of emergency.You have to go and wait for very long in a line, three thousand people have to go because there is only one doctor.I wish we had a properly build house to stay in for the cold and wet nights! I live with my mom,dad,sister and my dog. I will sometimes give up my food to feed my dog.My dad is the only one that works in my family! We live in Kwazulu Natal.
The power bottle would help a lot, when I am studying it would make a big difference!
Even throw my dad is at work every day, my mom and older sister protects me.I love my family!


Ask your friends and family to help. People like me are suffering from this please come help. One person can make a big difference!

    Romy you have done well to identify difficulties. I could actually feel your anxiety. Remember to explain in detail how the changes would help you.

Coo-Coo Cumber

By -
                 Our character is called Coo-coo Cumber! Erin and I created our character because we wanted our character to be different because we had seen that no one else had done that, and also because Erin also loves cucumbers. This project is all about superheros and villains, what we had to do is make a plasticine character. Then we would make a stop motion of the character. We had six weeks o do so, even though it seems like a lot it was still hard. The struggles that I had was probably the time management and the stop motion part because we had to keep the camera in the same position the hole time and go back to the same spot each lesson. The highlight of this project was the hole journey to do everything even though it was challenging at times I still had a lot of fun, another highlight was getting to work with one of my best friends Erin! I wouldn't change anything about my character because I think that it looks perf...

The Singing Isnpector

The Singing Inspector I was in the room waiting for the singing inspector, and he just burst in I got such a fright. Then he said that we were going to do a singing lesson. I was so nervous for the singing lesson because 1 I. did not know how sing well I did not think so and 2. He was so scary I had heard from about from my friends. Then Jesse told me that " I had nothing to be worried about and that her and Iris would be there for me." The singing inspector said "next up Benny and Charles". I could see in there faces they were terrified because they were boys and not a lot of boys sang if you know what I mean. Benny and Charles just stared at the singing inspector in fear.The singing inspector shouted at them " DON'T YOU KNOW ANY SONGS YOU BRATS"!!. That was so unnecessary I mean who does that. After that the to boys sung Pretty Polly. After he called up Jesse,Iris and I I almost peed in my pants I was so nervous.We all sung I was actually i...
