Day seventeen..

Dad pays the policemen some money to take us to Australia. Dad said that we would be leaving in a few days. Mum still looks miserable. I tell Bibi all the good things there are in Australia. I miss the village though..

Day sixteen..

i squat down on my football. Then, the boy who tried to steal my boy earlier, flings me onto my feet. he tells me he'll bring me to my family if i either give him an american dollar or my football. i decide to trust him. As the boy leads me to the camp main roads, a modern car drives past. He tells me that they were the United Nation and that they give people ticket out of the camp. They come out and hundreds of people rush to them. I too tried to get their attention but they soon got annoyed and drove off again.
The boy was no where to be found but i found my family!! However what i saw, wasn't very pleasing; Dad was surrounded by uniformed police :O
