“My
name is Mercline and I am in grade 8. I
am 13 years old. I would like to say
about my story. According to my family it is hard to get school fees and since
I started my school I just started by learning. I also chose to play tennis
because I play tennis in order for it to improve my future so that I can help
my parents and if for example if I don’t have anything, they (Sadili / Girl
Power) can help me so I can get what I need”.
“My
dad does juakali, my dad used to work with those iron sheets. If he sells them, he gets money in order for
him to help us. My mum makes stones for
cooking. I would like to be in secondary
next year, form one, so that I can remove some stress related to my parents. When we all sit at home we are not happy
because they are just quarrelling or they not talking to one another”.
“I
would like to say that in our home it is hard to get some things. It is hard to get school fees to pay for
school. It is hard to get food. It is hard for my parents to get money, for
them to provide us with what we need. I
would like to tell you so that you may help me so that I can get education and
learn how to protect myself and my family”.
