Majida, 11 years old, (please look also here and here and here)


»Since the last time, when we saw each other, nothing beautiful has happened that I can tell you about.
Everything has remained the same, except that I now attend the fifth grade of a school.
The school makes me happy, but I can not buy anything, for example a school uniform or other things for the school.
Sometimes my siblings give me tuition, but they are also busy with their homework and the school.
To this day I have not met any of my former relatives or received any information about them. When I need help, I go to the playground in the camp, but it is not a real help. And even in school there is no one to help me to forget what has happened.
I only stay inside the camp, sometimes I go to the fence at the edge of the camp, but I'm afraid to leave the camp alone.
I would like to return to Sinjar as soon as everything is liberated and the war is over.
And I still want to be a doctor, like the last time we met. I have not heard anything of my sheep as well, which had to remain in Sinjar.«
