00:00At this time, I am very happy to see that my daughter, who is in need, is in a lot of pain.

00:15She is helping us in school.

00:18But now, the situation is not good.

00:21I can see that her condition is not good.

00:26Because it is a bad condition.

00:28I have never seen a condition as bad as this.

00:31I was in Jumapini.

00:33I was very scared.

00:35And I turned off my phone.

00:38At 10 o'clock in the morning,

00:41this boy,

00:43my daughter,

00:45was taking him to the hospital.

00:48He was also at home.

00:51When he was in the hospital,

00:54he was doing his studies in Kenya.

00:58He saw that there was a lot of work to do in the house.

01:02He bought a house and built it.

01:05He is living with his two children,

01:08and his brother.

01:10They are helping him.

01:12But now,

01:14the situation is not good.

01:19He is living with his friend.

01:23When the situation is not good,

01:29he is not living with his friend.

01:34He is living with his husband.

01:37He is living on his own.

01:39Now, Jumapini,

01:42he has bought a lot of land.

01:47He came to where his daughter lives.

01:50The children have gone to church.

01:53When they come back,

01:55they open the door,

01:57they go inside,

01:59they take out their things,

02:01which were outside,

02:03because it was raining.

02:05When he came back,

02:07he went to his aunt's house.

02:09When he went to his aunt's house,

02:12his daughter was sleeping.

02:18That night,

02:20his daughter left and went to her uncle's place.

02:23When he came back,

02:25his daughter was walking,

02:27he put her on his back,

02:29and she stayed there.

02:32The uncle told his daughter,

02:34when she was walking,

02:36put her on the step.

02:38The little girl,

02:40who was his sister,

02:42was walking and carried her on her back.

02:46I walked to him and told him that I was dying.

02:50He walked to the neighbors and they took me to the hospital.

02:55The thing that made me cry the most was Haki.

03:00Because it was a person who killed himself,

03:03without any reason.

03:06And it was in Syria.

03:08If you have a job, don't take it to Syria.

03:10There are places that are not even in Syria.

03:14So I pray for Haki to be saved.

03:18So that we can have Haki.

03:20So that this girl can have Haki.
