Born in 

2007

Raised in a family with seven children, Alag was born in 2007 and has 3 brothers and 3 sisters. In the house where they live there is water and electricity, though the latter is only if they can pay for it. The dad is a welder, he provides for his two wives and children. Alag helps with housework and helps with selling water on the street. Only two of the children go to school, for the education of the others they have no money. He enjoys drumming in his spare time. He is a very talented drummer! The smiling little boy already knows what he wants to be: a soldier or a famous drummer. However, he would have to go to school to do this, but the family has no money for this. Their income barely covers the cost of three meals a day.
