Lenka*, Burkina Faso

My name is Lenka*.

Good morning or good evening depending on where you are,

I want to become a doctor to take care of people in my country with diseases like COVID-19 or flu.

Because COVID-19 kills a lot of people, and it’s very contagious, I’ll tell them what to do to avoid getting it.

You have to wash your hands with clean water and soap, use disinfectant hand gel and wear a mask. And keep one metre apart. I’d like a bike to ride to school. And I’d also like for my country to have peace.
