Hello, my name is Cherifatou Ilboudo. I come from a Muslim family. I was born on April 11, 2017. I live with my parents and siblings in a small home that does not have either running water or electricity. The closest well is about two kilometers away. Neither one of my parents has a regular job, but we have a small farm where we grow the food that we will eat throughout the year. Sometimes it can be hard to grow enough food for everyone in our family, but we do our best.I walk about a kilometer to get to school each morning and then do it again on the way home each afternoon. This year (2022-23), I am in kindergarten. I like school a lot because we are learning a lot of new games and my teacher sings songs with us. After school, I like to build things with my siblings and my cousins. When I’m all grown up, I want to be a teacher.
