Talibes...

2008.05.20

... One who seeks and asks... The street children...
They wear with tomato paste cans that hang around their necks.

Talibes are taken by local Islamic teachers, known as marabouts, to study the Muslim holy book, the Koran.
Live often in appalling conditions where hunger, thirst and diseases are rampant.
Begging is part of the coranic education. During day time, marabouts send their talibes out into the street to beg. They enquire a certain quota equivalent to one dollar a day, if the talibes do not meet the quota, they are severely beaten.
