yesterday as i visited the homes in iraq (squatter camp, grabouw, south africa) which had been blown down by the wind i popped in to see some of the other children that we work with in that community.
there is one special 9 year old girl who has captured all our hearts at the village of hope, she lives in a two roomed tin shack with her mother and baby sister, as i visited them yesterday i was somewhat shocked by the sight i saw. the girl was sitting with her A4 pad doing her english homework, whilst her mom kept warm under the covers of the only bed, which had been moved into the living area as the bedroom roof was rattling around and leaking in the rain which was pouring down. her two year old sister was calling my name as we sat and chatted.
no broadband bitesize revision from the bbc to help here, just pen, paper and a willingness to learn in the most difficult of circumstances......and with a smile on your face as well!.
