Pindi's Story

Pindi is 14 and in sixth grade.

He has participated in the radio programme Child Playground, which is supported by Save the Children and the National Institute of Children. “I’ve made interviews about garbage, illness and education,” Pindi says. “Being a journalist is my greatest dream.” Pindi loves to conduct interviews with children.

The project passes information to children and young people in the village of Uíge. The child reporters do well: Pindi has been a reporter for nine months and he hopes that some day he can become a journalist. Pindi lives with his parents, three sisters and two brothers in a threeroomed house. He is the oldest and would like them to live in a bigger house, but Pindi’s family does not have much money. His father is the only one earning money, and it is not enough.

“My aunt and I must also get a job. Otherwise we don’t have enough money.” Pindi is happy he can go to school. “My favourite subjects are Portuguese, ethics and mathematics. Because I’m going to school, I think that I will be able to find work later.”
