My picture shows cattle passing in front of a hut at the cattle-post. A cattle-post is a sort of village in the bush where groups of families live with their livestock. We rely on cattle for beef and milk. I also drew boys playing soccer, the most common sport in Botswana. People at the cattle-post build huts which are round houses made of mud mixed with cow dung. They may not look nice from the outside but inside they are perfect. There is a lot of sand because we live in a desert area.
At home we are a family of five. My fatherÕs name is Chief Leema and my mother is Dorcas. My elder brother is Thuso and my little brother is Lethogonolo.
At school my favorite subject is art because art is a subject where one can express feelings and thoughts to one another. My favourite sports are tennis and basketball. My hobbies are reading and sleeping. When I leave school I want to be an architect because my father says I am a good designer.
