A Letter From Randa - Marking Time

Dear Hal,

I have left Australia and I am now in Pakistan. Life is very hard now. I am with my father once again. It has been a tough few weeks and I haven't had a lot of sleep. We are living with lots of other people from lots of places such as Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, China, Iran and Iraq. All these people I am living with have been sent away from Australia just like I was. There are lots of children and it is very noisy and there isn't alot of food. 
My father is trying to find work. He looks very sick. It is very dry here and I miss the people of Brackley. This place isn't as clean as Australia. The culture in Australia is very different, but I enjoyed my time although the Australian government only helped my family until things changed. I think Australia was wrong about people like myself and my father. 

I miss you Hal, you were very nice to me and you helped me a lot. Your father was very kind. The people in your town started to build respect for me and my father but then the attacks in America happened and the world changed forever. 

Will I ever see you again?

From Randa
