A Day in a informal settlement

A day in a informal settlement

I’m Adam and I live in a informal settlement and I wish that I didn’t. There are leaks everywhere in my shack.Me and my family sleep in one room in 2 beds. When I wake up in the morning I’m wet and cold and I Feel really sad . I usually don’t even have breakfast and then I’m feel so hungry. I don’t have electricity or bathrooms.

Sometimes I don’t even go to school.There is 60 people in a class. I would really like to have a better school with a smaller class. I love soccer but if I don’t go to school I can’t play. It’s really hard to get to school and you have to walk about 20 minutes. Today when I was trying to get to school I nearly drowned by trying to get across the river. When I get back from school I take a taxi.

You all have to use the same toilets. When we want to wash ourselves we need to walk really far away and fill up a bucket with water. Sometimes little kids fall in the . toilet pit and they drown. I would really like to have our own toilets and proper toilets. I wish we had close by showers instead of buckets. At my house I don’t have any bed. I sleep on a mattress. My family doesnt even have a car. For dinner we have to make a fire outside our house and we eat chicken legs or beef.

The Singing Inspector

I’m Charles the kid that sang pretty Polly really well. I thought I sang it well but Mr.R didn’t think so. He screamed at me so much that I couldn’t believe it. He even called me a voiceless idiot which he probably will soon get fired for.I felt scared and sad and a bit angry. I wish we had a nice Inspector. Everyone did. Usually everyone called him a bully. I would love to be one of those boys that do exams and skip singing. Kids should get a weekend from him. I wish he went on a bad holiday for ever.
