Fakir Chia (Think first)

This is a living letter, a cry of interpellation against the mistreatment suffered by children in the world and more particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is the cry of all his children who are brought into town by adoptive parents, but who end up being used as domestic slaves. It is also a cry against the exploitation of children in mines and as cannon fodder in Chad, DRC, CAR, India and around the world. "Fakir Chia", from Chadian Arabic, is an expression that means "Think a little". It is a call to empathy and kindness for all children.
