Dear Friends,
Bonjour! My name is Kristina Noren. I am 11 1/2 years old and in 6th grade. I was born in Zaire, which is now called the Democratic Republic of Congo.
I love Africa because we can live a simpler, quieter life. We can have all kinds of different pets. I love animals, so it's a great place to live. We've had monkeys, chimps, small wild cats, parrots and hyrax, and others as well.
I enjoyed going to 5th grade in Cadillac, MI last year with children my own age, but I will start home schooling with my mom and little brother, Erik, once we are settled in our new home here in the Central African Republic. (We are in the Central African Republic this year, not Congo, because of the civil war there.)
I will miss the shopping, restaurants, and some TV programs, but I am ready to return to my home, Africa.
Pray for me as I have to make new friends and learn a new language, Sango.
Love, Kristina.
