I want always to be happy
I was happy in my country because I was with my family
We lived in a small house in the city
I have one brother and sister
Their names are Mohammed and Zeny

Z is from Eritrea, she currently doesn't know where any of her family are.

 
I remember when I was captured.
I was thinking about my family.
During the war you can't see anyone of my family.
My mum was worrying about me.
I remember someone save my life.

R, Sierra Leone
