"My name is Shilou"

"My name is Shilou Oger. I am thirteen years old. I have two sisters and a brother at home. Now I have a new baby brother who we have not named yet. I was chosen to come to my mother's birth because I am the oldest. We took the tap - tap a long way to come here. I had fun helping the midwives and the other mothers.

I go to school. I like to read stories. I like to play hide and seek and jump rope.

Now we are taking the tap tap home again."
