Plans for the future

When I get married I will inherit my father's land. But the TeleFood garden has given me new opportunities to earn extra cash in the meantime. Soon I will harvest my very first peppers and my mother Hawa will help me negotiate with the Senegalese middlemen.

With the money I will be able to buy a calf, then sell it later when it's fattened at double the price.

I might even be able to buy some new clothes for myself and my mother, shown here with my little brother Keba.
