Caroline's school day |
Caroline and her best friend Scovia go to primary school outside the camp. The school offers only a basic education; not many families can afford to send their children to secondary school. Caroline says: "I’m happiest when I’m at school. I’m free at school, and I have my friends with me. I have a nickname, ‘Lucky’. |

I have just one school uniform, and it is old. If it gets dirty in the rain when we walk back from school, I wash it as soon as I get home and lay it out to dry overnight. If it is still wet in the morning, you just have to wear it like that. The school doesn’t allow you to come without a uniform.
We leave for school at 6.30am to arrive by 7.30am. If we’re late, we run. We don’t have any food at school. I get hungry, especially at lunchtime." |
