I feel very unsafe here in Tuang, there are a lot of criminals that stay around here.
There is not much to do around here. all we do is farm here and i don't have any friends.
I'm so excited to move to Kimberly, there are going to be many opportunities to make new friends
Brenden and his family have a lot of trouble in Tuang as there is a very high crime rate as most people are quite poor.
My family and i are very poor, i really want my sister to go to school to have a successful life.
I want to become a nurse.
Tuang is a small settlement in which farming is the main economic activity. Brenden does not have a very social life here.
I am so glad i moved to Kimberly it is so much better and safer here and i don't have to worry about someone taking my shoes.
One of the reasons Brenden wanted to go to Kimberly is to have a more social life.
Thank you . Sir, i am glad to have this job so that i can support my family at home
Hello Brenden, i am your new boss Mr.Richie, i will be hiring you to work at the PowerStation.
Because of distance from the urban areas, there are no jobs for Brenden to earn money. Brenden is very concerned about is sister Mary's future and wants the best for her.
I am Brenden's father, i am getting old and farming takes a lot of energy and time. it is very tiring to maintain the farm.
Brenden is happy that Kimberly is much safer than Tuang, that is one of the reasons he moved here. he doesn't have to worry about people stealing his possessions.
As all the young people are migrating, the shops are closing down because they cannot get an income
Brenden has found a job to support his sister at home and earning a decent wage.
Tabang, Brenden's father is getting old and does not have the energy and time to maintain the farm as it is very labour intensive.
All the young people are leaving because they want a better standard of life in their future and as a result most of the shops are closing down because there is not if enough people buying from them.
As a result of the growing population of people in urban areas, authorities tend to focus more resources to such areas. This may leave rural areas without basic amenities.
All the young people have left and now people are neglecting our area and leaving it in a very bad state.
