Martha's Story: Armed Conflict and Children

My name is Marta. I am 15 years old. I live in McKinney. I am an offering. I'm an orphan because my father died during the war. I was 8. My mother died when I was a baby. I can not go to a secondary school at the moment because there is no money. I live with my auntie and help herself things in the market. So she can send money from my school fees. This is what I sell every day. Biscuits, hundred leons. These are my Friends. With sell things in the streets cucumber, popcorn, tomato, and cake. They all go to school, but I have no money to go to school. My father loves me very much. He used to buy me clothes and take me to school every morning. I miss him so much. This is what I'm going to eat tonight. Rice and cassava leaves. When I come home from the market, I like to play with fat matter. The game we play is Accra. This is this is my family. They are good to school. Next year, I will drive in.
