My name is Haji El Malick SALL I am Senegalese and I live in Dakar with my wife and my son. I had a happy and joyful childhood because I was surrounded by my family, so that I had good results at school. Everything was going well until my parents divorced and my father married another woman, it was change for she was mean to me. I could not get anything anymore from my father and it was hard. I decided to take care of myself by doing some small business because in our society, if you do not manage to make a living, no one will respect you. I want to give a happy life to my family and the future of my son who dreams of becoming an airline pilot by putting him in very good schools.

I have an internet cafe where I also offer photocopying, scanning, word processing and sell school supplies; It is an activity that is important because it allows to quickly prepare documents or to have tools to study or teach. I chose this area because it is growing and always in demand and profitable. Normally, I can sell for between § 50 and § 60 per day, because I am fortunate to have in my shop almost everything the clientele requires. The profits I earn, I divide them into three parts, one is to support my family and pay school fees for my son, one part is reinvested in my business and the last part I put into a bank account so I can solve unforeseen problems.

It's back to school soon and my customers will want to buy supplies in my shop for themselves or their children. So with the loan I will buy two cartons of excercice books for §35, ten school bags for §26, three packs of pens for §22, a box of writing paper for §17, and two color printer cartridges for §25. I'll sell the excercice books for §45, the bags for §35, the pens for §30 the writing paper for §24 and the cartridges for §35. The profit of §44 I'll divide into three parts, one for my needs, the other for my business and the last part I'll save.
