Meet Sise from Burkina Faso. Leila is 12 and she lives with her parents in Bani, a small village near a number of small scale gold mines, where thousand of people from all over Burkina Faso come in a desperate hope of finding gold. Leila’s parents live and work on these sites from dawn till dusk along with untold number of children. Most of them will never go to school. But Sise is one of a few fortunate ones. Her parents know the importance of education and they are working so she can get education. They are digging for her better future.
