My Name is Judith Nyirenda, I am 11Years old I came at Land of Hope when I was 9, Davis picked me among the million orphans in Zambia so that I should be helped.

My life was bad for me before I came at Land of Hope. When my father died, my mother was always drinking spending nights in bars. At this point I stopped going to school. I used to go round and round asking or begging for food and money.

Land of Hope has been so much of great help because back home I did not have my own bed, but at Land of Hope I have my own bed. I did not have nice clothes and shoes back home but at Land of Hope I have everything. I sleep in the house everyday back home I used to sleep outside on people's door steps, I used to take care of my small sister Mirriam. What a joy now because I am able to go to school at Land of Hope. I am so grateful I play with my friends and sisters at Land of Hope. My dream is to become a nurse.

Christmas is very special time of the year in that we celebrate about the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. We also have time with the family and friends, it's also a time of giving gifts. Our Christmas this year we will be very special because we will not only have party, dance or eat. But we will do a special demonstration of the story of the birth of Jesus Christ. The land of Hope family will be acting and from the and we are going to do many things on Christmas day.
