You heart breaks and you give the poor kid a piece of chalk that you've found inside. He jumps for joy and screams "chalk, chalk". Upon hearing this, twelve other children come running to your door ready with palms upwards and screaming "chalk, chalk". It becomes a chant. Before you know it, you've given away all of your chalk and still have children demanding a second piece. All of them are giggling. You look to see where their parents are for relief, you find none. Your door is mass of giggling children. You go back inside.
After a few minutes, the tide wanes and you breath easier. You look at your clock and realize you have to choose between breakfast or a bucket bath. You choose breakfast. Oatmeal is your only option so you prepare it in a hurry, eat it, then rush out the door, grabbing your rice sack on the way. Once outside your courtyard door, the children see you and start screaming again just as you remember your helmet.
Do you go back for your helmet?
Yes, then to school (click here)
No. Forget it. I'm fine without it (click here)

a little about burkina faso
Burkina Faso (formerly Upper Volta) achieved independence from France in 1960. Repeated military coups during the 1970s and 1980s were followed by multiparty elections in the early 1990s. Current President Blaise COMPAORE came to power in a 1987 military coup and has won every election since then.
Burkina Faso's high population density and limited natural resources result in poor economic prospects for the majority of its citizens. Recent unrest in Cote d'Ivoire and northern Ghana has hindered the ability of several hundred thousand seasonal Burkinabe farm workers to find employment in neighboring countries.
Location:
Western Africa, north of Ghana
Geographic coordinates:
13 00 N, 2 00 W
Area:
total: 274,200 sq km land: 273,800 sq km water: 400 sq km
