INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY 2023. WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gx4dm3GPUxs My name is Caroline. I am in primary five this is my home, when I wake up in the morning I look for fresh water, take the animal outside and watch dirty things then I start dressing for school, sometimes there is a lot of work to do and I have to do my homework. I cannot already study from home because I do not have books or pencils, then it makes it very difficult to learn. We do not have money for many things sometimes I do not eat so I am tired and hungry, when I go to school I feel very happy because I see my friends. I'm reading my stories, I love reading Sun Books, their books are fun with a lot of games and stories because with SunBook I can speak English and I am good at reading and writing. I have hope when I grow up I would like to work with computers and helps my brothers and sisters. Sun Book Project has brought everything I'm very glad Sun Books. I love you Sun Books! Please support Sun Books.
