skirt, t-shirt, blouse. When it's cold, jacket. I have the shoes to go to the church, slippers, sandals for walking (five pairs total).
I like to sing, sometimes to pray, sometimes to read the Bible, yes. I don't know [why I like singing so much]... it's like, it's my... I don't know how to say it in English... but in Swahili they say 'kipaji'. Because in our family even my mom likes to sing in the church [in the choir]. Me, my mother, my young sister, even my brother. Let me say it's my talent to sing, but I don't have a person to assist me and to train me, so I just teach myself. I like to sing religion music. I am a roman catholic.
*note: 'kipaji' means 'talent' in english
Swahili, French, and I try English. In Swahili, hello is 'jambo' and in French is 'bonjour'. Swahili was my first language. I learned French when I went to primary school... [wait] no primary school... preschool (3 years old). My classes were all in French. I learned English here in Malawi [after I arrived to the camp]. Before I had no idea, I was like Fatuma. When I was in DRC I liked English. There we learn English, but it don't have any importance. Because when you go to somewhere, they speak French, and Swahili small, but English, ah no. So, when I was there I say, when I will go to another country who speak in English, I will force me to know English, because I need it.
*Note: Fatuma is one of the other nurses that doesn't speak any English.
