Astan Traore

The fourth-grade girl lives with her maternal grandparents, her parents and 2 brothers and a younger sister live in the countryside. Her father is a farmer and her mother is a housewife. Neither parent had ever attended school. They are very poor, she has no uniform, only a ragged uniform shirt for boys. She keeps her notebooks in a ragged rucksack, she writes very nicely, grades 7-10 / 10 are visible in her notebook. She has a pen and a pencil. The family eats twice a day. Astan likes the French language, especially conjugation, because as she says, it's easy for her. She helps a lot at home, washes, cleans, dishes. She likes to play, and her favorite is ball shooting, where caps are thrown from near a target with another cap. She wants to be a soldier. The answer to the question of what you want comes without hesitation: school uniform, books and textbooks. They cannot pay the tuition fees, or only with great difficulty.
