The Story of two brothers from a Nigerian village called Igbogila.
Lukuman and Fatai, six and seven years old, come from a large family and live in a jungle where the roaring of lions and trumpeting of elephants is commonplace. Hunting and growing enough food to survive is a daily struggle. Everyday after school, two brothers join their parents in the jungle to cultivate cocoa seeds that they sell to the coffee traders that sometimes visit their village. They use the money to buy school uniforms, books, and school supplies.
Although the work is hard, the two brothers are determined to gain an education, and their efforts pay-off showing that we can achieve goals that seem impossible when we refuse to be stopped. The story also serves as a wake-up call to appreciate what you have while being aware of how people elsewhere are struggling.
