Here is the history:
In April 2005, my activities oblige me to go in the south-west of Ivory Coast. In a city called Sassandra and a village called Grand-Drewin. This area is not very far away from the zone of conflict of which Ivory Coast undergoes the harmful effects since September 19, 2002.
One morning, I meet on my passage a small girl with a plate in hand, beggar of food to eat.
At first sight, it acts of a one year old young girl to the maximum.
I get information about it and one teaches me that she is 4 years old and that her mother came from the zone of conflict with her to give it to her father. A workman of the corner. Her father remakes his life with another woman who is also a worker.
Each morning, the small girl is abandoned with it even in the village.
To survive, she passes from house in house to find what to eat. The physical and mental state of the young girl upset me so much so that this day there, I did not go to my place of work. I recovered it to feed it and understand more the drama it lived. This day there, I took photographs of it for immortaliser this first meeting.
I will tell you the history of a small African girl. Although this history which proceeds in Ivory Coast, it resembles that of thousands of other African children who live in zones of wars.
