This article about Fulani children appeared in an IRIN report this week. Many efforts are made to help these 'Talibé' Islamic religious disciples. This reporter speaks of a homegrown effort by families in a neighborhood of Dakar. Reports say there are well over 10,000 of these begging & oft mistreated, students in the city! Similar situations exist in other large cities of west Africa including Kayes, Conakry, and Bamako.

UWM also seeks to help the Talibé children in another effort in the same city. See 'Tad's Life' at tadhampton.blogspot.com for some encouraging stories.
