Her parents and her uncle and aunt died from AIDS, so she has to look after her younger brother and sister, three cousins and her sick elderly grandmother. At weekends and in the evenings she works to feed her family. ‘I dig gardens and people give me food. If I don’t do it, we can’t eat.’

Sarah lives in England. She wakes up at 8 a.m., except at the weekends, when she likes to lie in                                        [for everyone to have, someone who has no brothers or sisters, a number of banknotes you get to spend, to stay in bed a bit longer, a child whose parents have died, have a good relationship]. After breakfast, which her mother prepares for her, she gets dressed and gets ready for school. She doesn’t do much housework apart from tidying her room, clearing up after dinner and taking the dog for a walk.

Her father takes her and her close friend, Susan to school by car.
