My name is Abeba Jomo-Gbomo and I live in Nouakchott, Mauritania in the African sahara desert. The year is 1890. I live in an average home in our city. It is small but big enough for me and my five kids, Ababuo, Abeo, Adabelle, Adama, and Adofo. I stay at home and care for the children while my husband is away at work. I clean and go down to bring water with the help of my two sons.
