Today I woke up and I was extremely freezing because there was showers of rain and I could feel some on my cheek because it came through the roof. I walked to the kitchen and there it was for the fifth time a clump of rain from the door and straight to the kitchen. I was going to clean it up but I first went to go see if there was any food because I was terribly hungry and my throat felt as dry as rats tail . There it was again nothing but a bottle of red wine that my mom and granny worship .I really don’t like when they drink the red wine because they go all crazy and loud . I really should have been at school , but weather like today is no good to go out except to the dam to fetch water .
If there was 3 things I could wish for , it would be to have a blanket and a bed to sleep in , a proper toilet and food in the house. My friend Zara and I try to go to the dam at the same time but it normally does not work , but today it did. I saw Zara there and I was very excited We took our buckets , filled them as much as possible and went home . It was extremely freezing and wet and it was so painful carrying the heavy bucket when I was walking home. Normally at this time a few guys would be asking me for money or taking water out of my bucket , but not today.
I don’t like it here, but this is where I grew up and the way it’s looking , I’m not going anywhere . I got home, gave my mom and granny some water and tried to sleep but it did not really work because of the thrashing rain. I fell fast asleep , finally , but with an empty stomach. I’m dreaming about God helping me and my family . So far it is the best dream ever and I hope it never ends.
