Children talk about activities they enjoy during holidays

“My brother always tells me to do some house work during morning hours and late in the evening. I wash some clothes and mop the house but not every day.”Richard Nsengaimana, 13, Kimihurura Primary School, P.5 “I sweep the house and play with my friends. I makes sure I play after I have finished making the house clean. The holiday is a good time for us children.” Fred Nyarugabo, 13, SOS Primary School Nyarutaram P.5. “I help my elder sister to wash some plates and cups. I normally do it immediately after supper. My sister loves me because I help her at this time when I do not go to school. The holiday is nice for me.” Grace Kamariza, 13, Kimihurura Primary School, P.6. “I help the house maid to carry my mothers’ baby. I used to miss baby so much but during the holidays, I have time to play around with my baby sister. I feel bad when she cries, so I make sure I take care of her.” Emmanuel Kabanda, 13. . “I stay home in the morning but in the evenings when I am free, I play with my friends. I make sure I play from our home area but I avoid making my clothes dirty.”Oliver Iradukunda, 13. “I play football with my friends in the neighborhood. I do not enjoy any other game apart from playing football. I am indeed meeting many other young children who enjoy playing football too.”Abed Shimimana, 13, Good Foundation Primary School, P.5 “I have enough time to stay at home. But I miss my friends whom we play with at school. I feel bad whenever I remember the time we are at school when I play around with friends.” Jean Paul Kazungu, Kigali Harvest Primary School, P.6 . “Amongst the many activities I am doing in the holiday is fetching water. Water shortage at home has taken most of my holiday time. However, I also get some free time to enjoy with my brothers and sisters.”Ivan Mutabazi, 12, Kigali Harvest School, P.5. Ends
