“Our home is very lively, because I have a brother and two little sisters. I am in fifth grade at the elementary school Het Zaanplein and I really enjoy spelling and recess. Hanging out with my friends and having fun. After school I often go to a center to cook, draw or to make a tie-dye t-shirt.

When I grow up, I really want to become a doctor to help sick people. To me that’s more important than earning a lot of money. My wish for Zaanstad? That more people do good things for each other. It makes you happy.”

Priscilla would love to go back to Congo one day, to see what her birth country looks like.
