Day of a life and a child in a informal settlement

Day of a life and a child in a informal settlement

 I am 12 years old my name is Qubeile. My  mother is 40 years old and a very hard worker .We live in Khayalitsha . I need to walk to school in the morning . In the winter it gets really cold i have to walk to school and the toilets I have to go community toilets. The other day I went to school and a dog bit my friends ankle.
In this township we had a lot of fires .

I was waiting for my mom to come home when a fire spread . Their was a lady that helped me through this tough time . It is hard for me to study I have use to sit under the lamp post and study , now that they have made powerbottles it is easier to study .

Now that the power bottle was made it is very nice to study . My mother works in a 4 story house in town she cleans it . We have to wash in the river it has so much bacteria in it . My friends and I have a dancing club called tri bongi.
