Vores 'sponsorbarn' i Burkino Faso |
Vi har blandt andre valgt at støtte Antine, via BØRNEfonden. At det blev Antine,
kan synes som en tilfældighed - det var det barn der dukkede op på
skærmen netop den dag. Hvad koster det så at give dette barn en bedre
opvækst, tænker du måske... pt kun 185 kr om måneden. I
Burkino Faso rækker 100 kroner langt, sammenlignet med hvad de gør i vesten.
Herunder er den beskrivelse som vi modtog, på engelsk, fra BØRNEfonden,
sammen med et foto af Antine.

Antine Niongdogo
is a little girl. She is born 1992 and comes from a needy
family living in the south-eastern part of Burkina Faso in the
Koulpelogo province at about 230 kms from Ouagadougou the main
town. Antine and her family members are muslims.
Antine is clever. She is healthy and likes to play tap dancing.
She attends the grade 2 of primary school and her favourite
subject are singing and arithmetic. When she does not go to school
she does small shopping for her mother. Antine's sister, Salamata
is married while the 2 others, Koutougri and Pedo 14 and 6
do not go to school and help their mother in her daily tasks. The
youngest of the family is a baby boy who was born in |
 |
2001. Antine has also half-brothers
and sisters because her father is a polygamous man.
Antine's father is Hamidou and her mother is Lizeta. They are
repectively 41 and 38 years old. Both of them are illiterate
farmes. They own a small piece of land where they grow rice, beans
and millet essentially for home consumption. They also cultivate
cotton on a small scale that they sell to earn money. Despite
their courage and perseverance they cannot harvest enough to
properly feed the family during the whole year and satisfy their
basic needs owing to the poverty of the land, the irregularity of
rains and the lack of good farming tools and technic. So they find
it hard to ensure good health care, sufficient food, education and
clothing to their children. Their main food is "tow", a stiff
millet flour porridge served with fresh or dry vegetagle sauce.
They live in a round mud hut covered with straw mats. They have 3
goats. |
