Out of the corner of my eye, I see Dinkiyo excitedly leading a very old woman through the hospital hallways. I find out that this is Tarike’s mother, Dinkiyo’s grandmother. She has walked from her far away village to greet her daughter after she heard that she came through the surgery well.
Tarike is lucky, as she has her children and her mother by her side. She is thrilled that she can now return to her wood selling business and her physical condition can allow her to gather more wood and sell it at market.
