Transcription for "Staying with family (this clip is 50 seconds long - 1.53MB)"

(Grace is orginally from Nigeria, Pam is the session facilitator)

Grace: One of my uncle you know own a house here, and then I saw the wife, because my uncle was in Nigeria then…she said, oh. She hasn’t got a room where, you know, I can stay to do my studies. So she took me round to one of the relations of the husband

Pam: Um…

Grace:  And then when we got there to our surprise this…It was my own, of my uncles who left home for overseas…as well, to do law…

Pam: Oh really!

Grace:  So he was so pleased to see me! He said: 'oh, thank you very much, you didn’t bring me a tenant, you’ve brought me my daughter.'
