Hello, my name is Emmanuel Rakistaba. I come from a Protestant family. I was born in 2009. I live with my parents and my six siblings in a small home. Neither one of my parents has a regular job, but we have a small farm where we grow the food that we eat throughout the year. I walk about three kilometers to go to school each morning. This year (2022-23), I am in the 7th grade. I like school a lot, but French is my favorite class! After school, I like to play soccer with my friends or do my homework. When I’m all grown up, my dream is to become a soldier so that I can help people.
