Alusine is a quiet boy who loves being with his father. He is an identical twin that lives with his parents and uncle in the Northern part of Sierra Leone. His village is located in the savannah grassland region with difficulty of getting safe drinking water. Most of the people are pastoral farmers. The poor harvest in this part of the community is due to the presence of cattles that destroy farm crops. Lansana father looks after cows for people and he is compensated by the cattle owners. His mother is a farmer that grows her crops on small plot of land. The mother also sells firewood for additional income. Their combined annual income of UU$492 can only help to provide a single meal for a family of six. Alusine is in good health and not yet in school.
