This forced the family to move closer to town. Her mother works ten hours a day doing a variety of things to allow the family to survive: for immediate income for food, she gathers firewood in spite of the risk of land mines, then she will also do quarry work, and help brew a local alcohol beverage three times a month. She is also doing some bead making. Sida is an above average student in school usually around 27th out of 190. She likes English and wants to be a nurse. She enjoys playing games with friends.
