Miracle  Life In Buduburam 

My name is Miracle, I am seven year old, and I stay at the Buduburam Refugee Camp with my parents.I come from a family of four, my father, my mother, my little brother and I.

I attend Future Start Academy in Buduburam . I am in class two. At school we learn English, Maths, Science Our World and Our People, and Religious and Moral Education. I love my school very much, there we do a lot of things apart from our normal learning. 

At school we go on break s 10:30 am. During the break we buy foods, such as rice and stew, yorkur gari and warchi ( rice mixed with cooked beans)   from the food  venders on our campus.

Also we play a game called fruits game. This game is very simple, it is played by many students. The fruits are placed on the ground,then the students would pick the fruits from the ground and run to the location of a teacher, the first arrival becomes the winner.

This game doesn't have a financial award. But when the game is over the fruits would be divided among the participants. 

We close from school at 12:00 noon. When we closed from school,I would return home, take off my uniform and wash it, to make it ready for the next day.

At home I would rest for a while, and later in the evening go out to play football with my friends. And after an hour would return home,have my bath, eat and get at the table to study my lessons.By eight o'clock I would go to bed, and wake up by 6:00 am in the morning to prepare for school. 

My dream is to become a footballer. I love the football game a lot. I Play at the front and many times when we are playing, I would score 3 to 4 goals per game. 

I am appealing to Mr. Nigel to help enroll at a football Academy so that I can become a great player in future, like Messi or Ronaldo.
