Hello! My name is Eva. I am ten years old and I live with my mother and father in Soya, a town in Indonesia.
Every morning I get up very early and collect water from the tank for my shower.
We have a water tank next to our house. We use this water for cooking, cleaning and washing. Water must be boiled to make it safe for drinking.
I get dressed in my school uniform. Then I brush my teeth and comb my hair.
I wear a white and red school uniform, which is typical here in Indonesia.
The Republic of Indonesia is a country of over 17,500 islands in South-East Asia and Oceania. I live on the island of Ambon.
Mum calls me for breakfast at 6 oclock. She ate earlier, because she has to get ready for work. Dad has already left to open the family shop. So I eat on my own.
Mum boils water for our breakfast. She makes us rice with fried tempeh and mie goreng.
Tempeh is a traditional food of Indonesia, made from soybeans. It tastes delicious fried.
Rice and tempeh are quite enough for me!
Mie goreng is Chinese noodles. It is made with thin yellow noodles fried with oil, garlic, meat and vegetables.
In my country, we have rice with almost every meal. We might have it with meat or vegetables, and sometimes soup.
At 6.30, I leave for school. By this time Mum has already taken the bus to Ambon City where she works as a civil servant.
Mornings are always such a rush!
Soya lies at the foot of the beautiful Sirimau Mountain, which is covered in ancient trees. From the top there are spectacular views of the bay and Ambon City.
When Dad isnt working in the family shop, he does gardening in the neighbourhood.
Its a 15-minute walk up and down hills. I us ually see my friends and walk with them.
The island where we live is part of the Maluku Islands in eastern Indonesia. It is green and mountainous. The main city is also called Ambon.
My school is called Soya Kota Ambon. In my country, children start school at six years old. I am in the fourth grade.
The bell is rung at 7 oclock for the start of school.
Elementary school is called Sekolah Dasar. The school year starts in mid-July and finishes in mid-June. We get two weeks holiday in December.
We must answer Yes! in a loud voice when the teacher calls out our names.
After doing the register, our teacher leads us in morning worship.
Next year is my last year at elementary school. After that, I will go to junior secondary school, and I will stay there until I am 14.
Lessons begin at 7.30 and each one lasts about 40 minutes. The teachers are quite strict, but we still manage to have some fun during class.
Here I am with some of my classmates.
I am studying 11 subjects at school. My favourites are natural science, maths and cultural arts and skills.
When I started at school, I was allowed to speak my mother tongue, Ambonese. But since Grade 3 we have always had to speak in Indonesian.
Time to get to work! These maths problems are pretty tough.
Indonesia is a country of over 700 languages. Indonesian (which we call Bahasa Indonesia) is the official language, but most of us speak our mother tongue at home.
At 10.00, we have a break from classroom lessons and do physical education. Everyone must do PE. Its part of the curriculum.
PE can be tiring, but at least were outside.
Since I began Grade 4, weve started to do different sports, such as badminton, tennis, soccer, futsal, rounders and basketball.
Sepak Takraw is another popular sport here. Its like volleyball, but players use their feet, knees, chest and head to touch the ball, not their hands.
We are practising Pencak Silat, a traditional dance and martial art of Indonesia.
Indonesians are mad about badminton. We have won many Olympic gold medals in this sport. Football is also very popular.
After some more classroom lessons, we take a break. We go out into the playground for half an hour. At 12.30, the bell goes for lunch.
My best friend at school is Meiliani.
It is sunny outside. Because we are near the equator, we have a tropical climate. It is warm all year round. The rainy season lasts from November to March.
