About Malith:

The language Malith and his family speaks

Maltih speaks Dinka, he doesn't know much English, and he lives with his two siblings: Kimlan and Akima. Kimlan, his older brother suggests that he goes to school but Malith prefers not to because: i quote, "my brother and my sister are given very small money for the work they do, so i wish to work also." Every Sunday, Malith and his siblings go to church where people give them boxes filled with food, i quote: "They give us beans in a can, and meat and fish in a can also. They also give us fruit, such as bananas." Malith has never tried these sorts of food before.

His parents died back at his old village, he lived a rough lifevback in Katule, he lived without any room or house for many days and he skipped many days without food. But now he has a new life, in town, where the government has given him home and he attends a church where they provide his siblings and him with food.

The house that Malith now lives in with his siblings thanks to the government to him is pretty big, despite the government man saying it was pretty small. It is most likely because Malith isn't use to having his own room and a lot of space. 

With the idea that Malith and his siblings now live in a very big house, he is willing to ask the government to let more Dinka people to come stay, i quote: "they can live in our house. We have much space." Also, if more people from Dinka would come, Akima's boss would be more than happy to offer them jobs so that they could work at the shed.

The money that is earned by Akima and Kimlan is mainly used for food from the supermarket, there is a lot of food there to choose from but Malith finds it hard on what to buy because he cannot read. This is why Kimlan finds it a necessity for Malith to go to school, so he could read and know which food products to buy.

Thanks to the government, they have provided Malith and his siblings many things that would help them live a better and happier life than before.
