Hello. I was born in Maputo, shortly after I came with my mother to live in Vilankulo. I do not remember a lot of my childhood. My mother died in August 2013 and I do not know my father that lives in Maputo, nevertheless, I miss him and I would like to hug him one day. The head of our family looking after my little brother and me is now my older brother that is in grade 9. I like very much to go to school even if I have a long way to walk. I share my time between school, going to the lake to carry water and the housework. Some of our extended families, as well as some members from our church, help us to survive and sometimes come to see us. I like to play jump rope and talk with my girlfriends while walking to the lake.
