A day in the life of a child in a informal settlement
Hi my name is Bob. Nice to meet you. Every morning I have to wake up at 5am because I have get my school clothes ready. It takes me 1 hour to get to school and the worst thing about that is I have to walk to school with a empty stomach. My family and I struggle with money because my dad and my mom don’t work so we have hardly any food and nearly all my clothes are to small for me. I have to walk to school barefoot so my feet get really soar. We have to walk to a bathroom and the bathroom is a hole so sometimes the small kids fall in the whole. I always get sick because of all the germs from all the rubbish lying around. I go to a government school. We have no libraries so we can not study from books. Kids play in the dam and they get sick because there is so much rubbish and there is rubbish that is sharp and can cut the kids. When I go to the hospital I wait so long for the doctor to see me because there are 3000 people and only one doctor. When I have homework I have to do homework
