She is working for the United Nations children's agency, Unicef, in Nyala, southern Darfur and is writing a diary for BBC News Online about her experiences.

Today I am going to Mornei IDP (internally displaced persons) camp in west Darfur, which is a trip of about three hours from El Geneina.

The road is bumpy, it is hot, the day will be very intense and the locally prepared food is new to our overseas visitors.

Reason enough to make sure that we have enough water and toilet paper with us.

Good planning is one thing, but availability something else.

The children of today are the leaders of tomorrow Mohammed Bashir

There is no bottled water or toilet paper available in the town of El Geneina, which is home to at least 120,000 people. So with tissue and soft drinks instead we hit the road.

On the way to Mornei we stop for a short while at Sissy camp.

This camp is occupied by about 3,000 IDPs and is buzzing with business activities. It seems that in less than four months this place has developed into a thriving local shopping centre - timber, charcoal, wood and grass for building and donkeys are being sold in huge amounts.

Mornei camp is impressive - it is green and massive. The camp is build at the foot of a mountain and it seems that the settlements go on forever; it is estimated that the camp could host up to 90,000 IDPs.

Girls' enrolment

When we arrive in Mornei town - the host community of the camp - we meet thousands of children in the main street queuing in the unbearably hot sun to be registered for school.

It is a special day as the ministry of education and Unicef are organising a girls' enrolment day.

Thousands of children are desperate to attend school

Community mobilisation sessions are being held with parents to convince them that they should send their children, especially girls, to school.

Songs, dance and speeches are going on and I am happy to hear a speech by a young boy, Mohammed Hassan Bashir.

He speaks full confidence about the rights of the child and especially the right to education.

Mohammed appeals to the government to improve the situation for teachers, and appeals to Unicef for more text books and learning materials.

He reminds all of the parents to send both boys and girls to school and he makes us not forget that "the children of today are the leaders of tomorrow".

Refuse to go home

At the end of the day I go back to the ministry of education office and still see hundreds of children waiting to be registered.

They refuse to go home, even though they can come back tomorrow.

Q&A: Darfur conflict

Unicef will have built another 20 classrooms by the end of this week, but there are presently at least 6,000 children on the waiting list.

The kids seem desperate; they want to attend school but with a shortage of teachers and classrooms they are not allowed to go for the time being.

Mohammed is lucky - he does attend school and I'm happy to see that children have a voice, even in Mornei.

I hope parents and caregivers are inspired by his speech and will allow the girls to go to school too. Not only while they are in the camp, but also when they return to their communities.

As Mohammed said the future of this county lies in the hands of its youth and I hope for him that if he has children they will grow up in a Sudan that knows peace.
