She is busy going to college, support groups and volunteering to help her friend. (Read by an actor.)

 



I'm going to college and I try to, I'm help… I volunteer to help my friend take her children to school. And I take them to school, sometimes I bring them back home, I help them with their homework. Take them to the park. Yeah I try to keep busy, when they're at work, I'm there at home with the children. 

When they're in, if I'm going out to some other organisations where I have to go for the support groups, I go out, they remain in with the children. So we kind of support each other, help each other. And I kind of keep myself busy and when I'm going to school, I leave the children in school, If I'm going to school I come and pick them up. 

So I kind of… I'm kind of on a, a busy programme. And I do a bit of knitting as well. And I do a bit of hair braiding.
