At the wake of sunrise, a laugh

Tanzania, Rukwa, a remote house lost in the mountains, a farmer's family. It was 7 am, the children just woke up. Three among eight were already on their way to go to school, 2.5h walk. They were waiting their father so a new working day could begin. It was cold, so together with their puppies they stick together close to the dying fire. The first laugh at the wake of sunrise.
