Ibrahim Telly

A boy born in 2015 lives with his mother and two siblings after his parents divorced. His father provides no support. The family survives on the mother’s occasional work—doing makeup—and financial help from their extended family. They manage to eat twice a day. Ibrahim’s mother completed elementary school. Ibrahim is described as a smart but sometimes stubborn and strong-willed child. Unfortunately, his right arm and hand are not fully functional; he can only perform simple, light tasks with it due to a condition he was born with. Luckily, he experiences no pain. Ibrahim loves going to school, and his favorite subject is reading. However, he does not have textbooks or a school uniform. He has many friends and enjoys playing football. His favorite team is Real Madrid, and Cristiano Ronaldo is his favorite player. At home, he helps by doing grocery shopping. His dream is to have a small toy car.
