Islamic students...


Talibes, or Islamic students, pose for a portrait between reading verses from the Koran at a Dara, or Islamic school, in Thies, 70 kilometers (50 miles) east of the capital Dakar, September 24, 2007. Talibes beg on the streets collecting alms for a marabout, or religious leader, in return for food, accommodation and Koranic learning as part of Senegal's Mouride sect of Islam
