She is only 16 years old.However, she will be, for the second time, mom in a few weeks.Unfortunately, it is struck by the vicious cycles of extreme poverty and the traps of life.She wants to go out, but how to do it?Meeting with a family in distress.
A dilapidated house, furniture that barely stands, a mattress placed on the ground, a courtyard that seems abandoned ... The young Amélie (fictitious first name) and her family reside in the Plains-Wilhems district, not far from the greatest developmentsfrom the country.However, his house seems to be hiding behind the most beautiful infrastructures of the surroundings in a shameful way.And it is also that we could qualify the approach of the young mother.It advances in small nonchalant steps, a little hesitant at the beginning.The rounded belly, the frail body, it seems bad in point.
She invites us to enter her house.The house consists of three rooms.Six people live there: her parents, her brother and her sister-in-law, her little daughter and her.Difficult to imagine how all family members manage to find a place to sleep, because we see a single bed and a mattress on the floor.In the room that serves both as kitchen and living room, an old sofa is the favorite place of the little girl.The piece of furniture is broken and the little girl uses it to slide.
At the time of our visit, the child was in his grandmother's arms.The latter tries to calm her tears, but nothing to do, she claims her mom.The latter, despite her stomach that she has more and more difficult to support, tries to keep her despite everything.Amélie explains that she is at her seventh month of pregnancy.She will give birth in a few weeks and begins to worry."I am tired, I'm afraid and I don't have much".She does not hesitate to tell her story, even if she still seems to have childish behaviors from time to time."Mo Finn Iron Bann Erer, Mo Finn Krwar Dan Bann Ki Finn Anbet Mwa Ek Mo Finn Gayn Mo Kou".Indeed, she was abandoned by the father of her first child, and believing that she would live a different story, she put herself as a couple with another person later."History is repeated, and even before my child was born, we had a lot of problems.‘Mo Finn Bizin Return Rest Kot Mo per year.Mo Santi Mwa Enn Fardo.ENN ROB DESAM MO PENA ’.»»

Among the sought -after donations:

If she does not want to go to a center for young mothers or women in distress, it is mainly because she would like to stay with her mom.The latter is visually impaired and she continues to undergo wickedness on the part of a few people.Gina (fictitious first name) lost her sight 14 years ago, following a disease.She had to learn to fend for herself alone. « Mo res lakaz tousel ek parfwa bann dimounn fer mesanste ek mwa»».She claims to do her best to help her daughter as she can.
It was following rounds made in the locality by police officers that the case of Amélie was known.These police officers wanted to inform social workers so that they can help the family, especially the newborn.
Planet children's associations and tell me and activist Jameel Peerally visited the family during the past week.Magali Deliot of Planet Enfants advances: "First, I would like to thank the police for this charitable action, it is also the role of the police officers.And then, with Jameel Peerally, we take a lot of actions on the ground.»»
