My name is Chimwemwe . I am 12 years old. I am in grade 5. When I grow up I want to be a soldier because I want to serve my country with peace keeping. I live with both of my parents.

I live in a community which is big and many children don't go to school because of poverty and lack of encouragement from parents and leaders in the village.

When I woke up, I was my face and sweep the yard. I fetch water from the borehole, go to school and after school, I help with household chores and later play with my friends. in the evening I study and work on my homework.

Please pray for my country, my education, my community, a better life and a good future.
