My name is Kian and im 12 years old I live in an informal settlement in Dunoon.Every night I have to do my homework under a lamp post in the cold,because of the there’s no electricity.I wish that I had a bathroom,because I have to get up really early to go to the nearest tap which is 1 hour away.Im always late for school.
I love going to school,because all my friends walk with me and we can spend time together.All my friends and I when we are at school I enjoy playing soccer,rugby and
cricket.In the afternoons at school we do all our work and then we walk together.
All my life I’ve wanted to be in a nice big enough house for my family and I.But sometimes it can be nice living in an Informal settlement,because I’ve got friends who play soccer and games with me.Our desks at school are all squished together and we don’t have proper chairs and more space.I wish I had shoes so that my feet don’t get cut and sore.Im always so sick and the trip to the doctor is so far away so I have to wake up at 2 o’clock,because I have school.The que at the hospital is so so long you wait for 2 hours if your lucky.My brother has malaria so he’s in the hospital almost every day.I wish I had a dog or cat so that they can scare the burglars.
