Mariam Bukari, 15 years

Hello World!

My name is Mariam and my "christian" name is Mavis. I am 15 years old and I have a younger sister.

Every Sunday I like to go to church at 10 o'clock in the morning. I'm the leader of our church choir and we are singing and dancing there all together. The name of our church is "St. Joseph Catholic Church".
Some of my girlfriend are also in my choir, they are called Victoria, Abigail, Afija, Matilda, Samanta and Amina.

I also like to sing diffrent gospel songs.

In this case I wish you all a nice christmas-time!

Mariam stays in the Foster Care Community (FCC). In the picture you see the girls dorm, where eight girls find place to sleep. Each of them has a bed, a misquito net and a cupboard for their personal belongings (you see it in front with the colourful doors).

Mariam is washing her clothes

Every Saturday all children recieve soap for washing their clothes. The children use the day to wash, so that they have clean clothes for Sunday and the following week.
Two weeks ago we introduced David in our blog. As you remember we had a picture where he was cutting soap. This is the soap we give out once a week to all children!

Isaac Dahamani, 15 years

Hello!

On Monday, 03th of December, Amina, Lisi and Magdalena the Volunteers and I drove to Bolgatanga because I had to check my eyes at the hospital!

I stood up in the morning like every day. 

After breakfast I went to school. Suddenly Amina collected me and told me, that we have to go to Bolga to the hospital for my eye-check. She told me this the evening before, but I had forgotten it. I changed my clothes and then we first went to Walewale, to bring some people to the market.

In Bolga, we had to look for the hospital, because we all haven’t known, where it was. But some minutes later we found it. 

At first we had to fill out a new folder for me. Later we went to the doctor for the eye-check. The nurse did some tests with my eyes and then the doctor talked to me.

When I was finished in the hospital, we went to the market and bought some staff for the orphanage. Later we went home. It was a nice day in Bolga.

Like Isaac, all children under the care of BRAVEAURORA as well as all employees are insured at the NHIS (National Health Insurance Scheme) - which provides free health care and medication at the public hospitals.

David Imoro, 14 years

Dear white People!

My Name is David and I am 14 years old.

Last Saturday, on the 24^th of November, I was with my friends and my parents at our fire festival at chiefs palace. First we went to the house from our chief and we were waiting for him. Later, when chief was coming, everybody has some wood and we burned it. 

It was very beautiful. There were many people and we had a lot of fun!

Later in the evening we walked to the church. After church we played some music. 
It was a very funny day.

Amina Dokurugu, 12 years

Hello, 

I'm Amina and I'm 12 years young.

Every morning I get up at 5 o'clock.

Sometimes, before school starts, I bring some milk to the volunteers compound, because they have a little babycat.

At school, I like to meet my friends and talk with them.

Today we had to write some short stories about our life.

I have 4 sisters and 6 brothers.

After school, I like to play some games with the ball or cards with my girlfriends and also with my sisters. Our favourite game is UNO.

The names of my best friends are Sarah, Kasala, Makurugu and Rufisatu.
