Longing to be back home
I bumped into on old friend at the shops today. Noma now lives in London. She went to the UK originally to earn money to send back home. As a single mother she could no longer afford the school fees on her local salary.
Slowly she saved up, bought plane tickets for all of her family and one by one they joined her. Noma said she did not particularly like living there and had to come home just ‘to put my feet on African soil’.
After five years abroad, Noma still longs to be back home where she was born.
