Hi my name is Kevin Jones I’m a 11 year old kid that lives in a informal settlement.
Every morning my dad and my big brother go out with a huge bottle for water. I wish that we had some indoor plumbing so we can just wash ourselves and don’t need to stand in line for a natural resource. We all share 2 beds and there are 5 of us it is a very tight space. I wish we had more beds. For dinner we eat soup or pap you might not believe this nut eggs, bacon, cheese, chicken and Burger King is more expensive than you think. I wish my dad or mom had a good paying job.
Every morning I walk to school and sometimes I cut my foot on a jagged piece of glass or rock.I wish I had some shoes so I don't cut my feet. At my school we have about 30 kids in each class and our classroom is very small if we had just a class that was a little bigger so we don’t get squashed. We don’t have a lot of learning tools so we don’t learn as well as we supposed to. I wish we had a little bit more money in the school budget so we’d had bigger classrooms, more stationery and textbooks. When we get sick we have to sit in line for hours and hours just to get a 10 minute appointment with a doctor. I wish we had a few more doctors.
One day I ask my mom and dad for a pet they gave me a little baby chicken (a chick). I used my allowance to by bird seed and and eventually I saved up for a chicken Koop. when I got home from school my pet chicken died from a piece plastic which had eaten when he had get a sip of water from the river.
