Everywhere I walk I see litter and people sitting in the streets praying to God to help them. I am ashamed of the amount of people living on the streets in South Africa. When ever I complain about my life I regret it. I should be happy I have a roof to live under.

I was driving in my dads car to my horse riding school and we have to pass Diepsloot. The amount of people is ridiculous. There are thousands living in a pile of litter and cannot even bath in clean water. They can't even drink clean water.

I always wonder how they live, what they eat and how they feel. I could never live in those conditions. When we drive past it smells like a sewage dump. They use the ground as a toilet. I wish I could help with this poverty. If I could help I would do so. Unfortunately there is so many people living in poverty that there is nothing any of us can do.
