Open the above link and learn about recent events in Sidi's life.
Sidi, in the dark shirt, claps during a performance at a one-day festival in Dakar for talibés — students at unregulated schools who must beg on the streets each day. Sidi doesn't go to school at all. He begs for his family.
We read about Sidi in an earlier column by Catherine Porter, a Toronto Star columnist living with her family in Senegal. Students met in groups and came up with fund raising activities to help send Sidi to school.
