"Coins clinking in a large, red tomato paste tin can is a familiar sound on many street corners in downtown Dakar, the Senegalese capital. That's the tell-tale trademark Begenfo(ph), slung around the necks of young boys known here in Senegal as Talibae(ph), or disciples. These children are meant to be studying the Koran, but most of the barefoot boys with runny noses and dirty, ragged clothes are not learning the Muslim holy book. The Talibae spend long days trudging up and down the streets of Senegal's cities with their hands outstretched as they approach you for a little money with a whispered prayer. Begging for a coin or two, they say the collections are for their marabu(ph), their teachers."
