FIRE SURVIVOR

Rodha

I am a survivor because I survived a fire in Nepal. One day a spark from a electrical wire started the thatched roof of our house on fire. Next, the bamboo walls started burning.  My family ran from the house. My neighbor and firefighters came and threw water and banana trees on the burning house. They got water from well and a natural pond. But still, most of the houses got burnt. My family and neighbor helped to build a new house.  It took almost three weeks. In the end, my new house was better than first one.

Surviving the Ebola Crisis

By Jofrandehl

I am a survivor because I survived Ebola Crisis in Liberia in the year 2014.  It all started when my aunty told us that she wasn’t feeling good, so my mom went to buy medicine for her at the pharmacy. When we noticed my aunts sickness, we started protecting ourselves from getting the sickness. A week later she started complaining again. This time she complained about her head and her skin was very hot, and she started vomiting. So we took her to the hospital, and the doctors put an oxygen mask and protective clothes on her. Finally, the next morning she ask us to get her children. After we got her children, the doctors told us to put on safety clothes before we can enter the room that she was in. She talked to them and her children left her to rest for a while. Then, a minute later she died with tears coming out of her eyes.

Survived Living in Liberia

Patience

I am a survivor because I survived living in Liberia and was attending school there.  First of all, in Liberia I lived in a home where there was not enough money to buy food. Some days we would go without eating. We like to call that fasting. Secondly, there was not enough money to send your child to school, so the kids would stay home to help their parents at the market. But luckily for me, my mom would send money to my grandma, so I could have the opportunity to attend school. I used to live with my grandma in Liberia. I was three years old when  my mom left and came to the USA to find a better future for us.

In school students would get hit on when they got a question wrong in class. Back then, in school we would  get into a lot of fights. But finally, I came to the US and my life has changed since then. I can now go to school, and have no worries  about what I am going to eat when I get home.
