Mirza, 11 years old (brother of Milad, please see following child)

»I still have two brothers and live with my mother and we are from Afghanistan.
I don't know exactly, how long we have been in Iran.
Up to now I spent two years at school. This year I wanted to go into the second grade but I was not allowed to because my mother could not pay the school fee. I would like to go to school and in my spare time I'm looking at my old school books.
Sometimes I work with my mother: We pick weeds in the bean fields.
I was the happiest when I was at school.
I'm afraid that something happens to my mother, my grandma and my uncle.
I wish that we can all have dinner together in a big house. And I also wish that there would be an end to the war in Afghanistan.
I have never celebrated my birthday.
I would like to be an engineer.«
