Hey I was born safely at CASA relief Camp (Mirzawa, Supaul) My mum says that this is not the world it used to be. It used to be dry land with green all over. Enough place for all to play. Eating good food and drinking safe water. Now we are in the relief camp for flood affected. Water all over! but no clean water to drink; very little food to eat and no place to play!
