Workshops for children are organized in front of the village entrance. A group of young girls wisely draw the ksar door. I show them my notebook, the success is without question. Hajar Adim and Meryam Ben Baghae, the most diligent of the group, won the right to come and pose with me for a few minutes for a portrait.

Two activities are planned: drawing for girls, and football for boys. However, some boys want to draw and grab pencils and paper. The facilitator takes out the ball provided for them, but some girls also want to play football.



Finally, everyone abandons the pencils and starts playing dodgeball together. They laugh, sing, run and play for over three hours.

Kadijha tells me: These activities don't exist in their school, so it's a lot of fun for them to do all this. After which, she joins the group to run and sing.
