The 8-year-old boy is now a member of a family with four children as a little sister was also born in the meantime. His parents are still unemployed, his mother is an occasional market vendor. His father is illiterate, his mother went to school. They live in an adobe house built around a courtyard, several generations, uncles, aunts and their children together, at least 50 people, as they count, lots of children. Bourama lives in a unit of two tiny rooms in the rooms right next to the open toilet. The parents sleep in one unit and the children in the other. It is difficult for the parents to pay the school fees and buy school supplies for the boy who is an excellent student, since their income just covers daily living. He likes to watch TV and math is his favorite subject.
