I grew up in Orange Farm with my grandmother. We didn't really have much to go around, so the circumstances did not really allow for any of us to have pocket money or attend expensive schools. We managed, however to have a normal childhood. Like any other child in the street we would play games and didn't really worry about what was happening at home.
