Do They Hear You When You Cry

I just finished this book a week ago. Quite interesting.





Its a true story of a young Muslim girl, Fauziya Kassindja, who fled her African homeland to escape female genital mutilation and forced polygamy.

Bila Helena baca kisah Fauziya, rasa sebak pun ada, rasa kagum pun ada...... and in a way, Helena boleh agak macamana life gadis-gadis African Muslim di Africa, still heavily binded with tradition.


SELAMAT MENYAMBUT BULAN RAMADHAN AL-MUBARAK PADA SEMUA.

alahai..... takdapat la Helena nak cakap apa..... layan aje la dia.... Style cik adik ni kan lain sikit.... Nak garang2 dgn dia pun dah tak boleh ni.... Helena nak dia tenang..... InsyaAllah okayla....

Yesterday was her last tuition. Khamis ni punya tuition english... helena suruh dia ponteng. Suruh buat Pemahaman instead.

Syukur dia dapat 5As in her trials hari tu. Maths dia dah ok. Now nak attack Pemahaman ajela.... tapi dah nak dekat sangat ni.... takde la sangat buat latih tubi.....

But her school still give LOTS of homework...... sigh..... dah dah la tu....
