We didn’t have a huge family, there were four of us children.
We weren’t rich, but we weren’t poor either.
I went to school in Maputo, until the eigth grade.
Because I was good, I had to go into vocational training.
That’s what they decided, when the Frelimo Party came to power.
But I wasn’t exicted about it. I didn’t want to.
I wanted to stay in school. But I couldn’t.
And then I came to Germany...
I hadn’t heard about it, my father was the one to hear about it.
And he told me, they’re looking for young people to send to Germany,
to study.
Who wouldn’t want to study abroad?
Everyone thinks that if they study they may have a better life.
