They cleaned, cooked, cared for the land their family owned, and also took care of other siblings in the household.

the sudden outbreak, many children were split apart from their parents leaving them abandoned. Wen the war began “fathers had come running from their workplaces, only to stand in front of their empty houses with no indication of where their families had gone.
