Impact of War on Children's Education

Are there many children left?

No.

So we can see that there are

a few children here. A boy her age just left.

I think there aren't any children left there. No, no, they've all left.

And when they stopped supplying

groceries and deliveries, I also became a dietitian,

that is, we survived on zucchini

and little salads. Well, that was life.
