Iba's family in St. Louis

Dear readers, you are probably getting familiar with the landscape here.  There are children running about, family, neighbors, food, stories...
Iba has a big brother, Malik, who works security duty at night.
His wife is learning to sew in school.
Iba's father passed away last year making things more difficult for the family.
It's basically hard for everyone here.  The lack of capital for starting new businesses is crippling and people are suffering.  The wealthier Senegalese do not help their brethren, even within a single family.  There isn't really any social safety net.
So they look for any opportunity to get money from anyone who has some, like me.  More on that in another post.
I was very glad to see that one of Iba's long time friends rides a bike!!

Here are photos of Iba's family:
