Farid, 12, is a member of the Dom community and he is one of Ayat’s students. He lives with his mother Norah and his siblings in a tent, and sometimes he cannot attend classes because he has to work in order to provide for his family. Their financial situation is dire. Life in a tent, especially in the winter is everything but easy. However, Farid feels safe and he is happy to be able to go to school. He is very active, he loves writing on the board and helps his teacher when other children are misbehaving.
