Factual series about homeless children. Eleven-year-old Sagal is from Somalia and finds it a challenge living with a very lively three-year-old brother who rules the roost at home. As a Muslim girl, Sagal is very private and has told almost no one that she is homeless. She is keen to do well in school and has aspirations to be a doctor. Sagal has found it difficult to share her homeless secret with those around her. On a trip to London Zoo she hesitates over telling her friends and finds she is too scared to do so. Later Sagal visits a hospital to find out what it is like to be a doctor.
