Responsibility - her head is full of worries, not the least of which is food.

---

This is Haoua Pendoru. She is already a grandmother, yet, her youngest child is only a few years old. Her husband - the product of an arranged marriage when she was fifteen years old - abandonned her to go to the Ivory Coast. He doesn't send food or money back. Haoua's head is full of worries, not the least of which is food.
