Christabel (13), Children in the Wilderness - Zambia

Christabel is 13 years old and lives with her mother. Her father passed away and her mother is very ill all the time. She is a very responsible girl and was always helping to take care of the others. She would be the first one to help clearing the table for example. When Doreen was sick, she would go to Doreen in the middle of the night to check if Doreen was okay. Christabel is very clever and was always contributing in the classes. She would like to protect all the trees, because they give oxygen to the Earth. After school she would like to be a manager like Rob and Ingrid, because management is a good position.

She told us that she learned during the programme that it is not good to insult other people to make you feel better. She admitted doing so when she was feeling bad herself. She told us that she would never do it again.
