Had I not been to CEDEM, I would have surely committed suicide because I could no longer cope with the situation. I can say that with the continuous support of Mrs. Rita, the director, I have overcome many psychological problems.
I am now learning how to work with physically handicapped children. I am very keen and happy to help these children.
I have chosen to tell my story because I know that many children my age suffer like me. What I have to say to them is: “Please do not suffer in silence. Speak out your problems and somebody will offer you a hand as they did to me.”
Christelle*, with Pouba Essoo
