My life in Mali! My name’s Amadou and I’m twelve years old. I live in a village in Mali in Africa. I live in a small hut with my family. There are two rooms in my hut. My mum, dad and brother sleep in one room, and I sleep in a room with my sister. I usually wake up at 5.30 am. I help my mother cook the porridge for breakfast. We leave home at 6am to go to school. I usually walk to school alone, but sometimes I meet my friends on the way. Before school starts, we get a broom and sweep the classrooms. We also have to collect water for cooking lunch. Our lessons start at 7.30 am. School finishes at 12 pm every day. It takes an hour to walk home. Sometimes I stop at a friend’s house and we do our homework and read books. We also like riding bikes, cooking and sewing, or making things with beads. At night, I visit my friends around the village. Sometimes we watch TV, but we often have problems with electricity so the TV doesn’t work. We like telling stories. That’s how we enjoy our free time!
