I lived in Dakar for 5 years. One thing that I wonder was why are there only boys in the street? In other countries there is boys and girls. In third grade my teacher explain to us that the kids went to quranic school. In those schools kids are beaten for the minor mistake they do. Also their parents send them there because they think they will be treated well and learn.When actually they are forced to beg and the money goes to their teacher.I see children begging in the streets all the time. Every morning that I am going to school I see them begging.In third grade for the first time our class went to Samusocial. Samusocial is an foundation that help the “talibé”win money while they find his parents.The kids told us want happen to them. There was impacting stories.In 2014 the government found over 30,000 boys begging in the streets.  I wrote about the talibé because you can see them begging in the streets all the time. People don’t realize that if they don’t bring 2,000 cfa they will be beaten.
