=ABOUT MY COUNTRY= Burundi, is one of the smallest and most crowded countries in Africa. It is bordered by Tanzania at South-East, Rwanda at North and Congo at West. Bujumbura is its capital and largest urban community. Burundi is a poor country. It has few minerals and little industry. The country's soil has been weakened by heavy rainfall, erosion, and poor farming methods. A majority of the people of Burundi are farmers who raise only enough food to feed their families. Burundi is located far inland and, as a result, transportation of goods for overseas trade is costly. Burundi is in east-central Africa, just south of the equator. However, Burundi has a cool, pleasant climate, because it is a mountainous country. (Information from worldbookonline.com)

=ABOUT ME=

My name is Justine NDAYAHUNDWA. I was born in Burundi the smallest country in central Africa but when I was 9 years old, I left my country and I went to Tanzania to the refugee camp, because in my country they are problems for killing people and other problems.

In primary school if some students come late or make mistakes teacher hit them or give to them some punishments After there I went to study in secondary school for 4 years but I didn't finish fourth year there in Tanzania. In secondary school we studied about 12 subjects but in primary school it was 4 subjects only.

=ABOUT MY LIFE IN TANZANIA=

In refugee camp of Tanzania, we were many different countries and we lived together. We were cominicated in Swahili Language and my life in the refugee camp it was too bad.

=MY LIFE IN AUTRALIA=

When I was in Tanzania, me and my family we saw that our lives go to be bad. There we organized to think how we can move in that area because we looked to return in our country we saw that is impossible because there are problemes about us. Then my mother went to the UNHCR to ask if that they can help us. They asked many questions about our lives and they accepted to help us. We came here on 27/10/2006 and we were happy. Now Government of South Australia continues to help me to get education, nutrition and other helpful.
