“Can I dream of a miracle?"

“Hello. My name is Mamad. Every morning, I walk for 4 hours to collect water.

Honestly, I want to study and play football like the others, but if I don’t make the effort to collect water my family and I won’t have any water to drink all day.

Not long ago, my younger sister was sent to the hospital because she was sick, and the doctor said that if she keeps drinking bad water, she could get worse. I am afraid.

I dream of water close to my house. If there was clean water near my home, we would not get sick and would be able to play football as much as we want, right?

However, when I wake up, I am back on the road to collect water again. I am hoping for a miracle, I am hoping that one day I won’t have to walk so far just to drink water.”
