"I like life in Timbuktu because there are many Muslims
in the town, and three great mosques.The oldest and most
famous of the mosques is the Djinguereber Mosque, which
I have attended since I was 10. When I'm not in school
I sell souvenirs to make a bit of money and to help my
people who are out in the desert. If I make some money
I buy sugar, rice, tea, and whatever else they need, and
send it to them, and then during the vacations I join
them in the desert." Abdoucarine Ag Hamalek,
