She is the symbol of the children of the orphanage as well as the children from Perere and from Benin. Her mum died when she was born, and because other women do not feed a child who isn't their own (they think it might bring bad luck) the orphanage is the only home left to take them in. When they reach the age of 2, they can go back to their family, there, they will be brought up by a grand-mother, an aunt, or a older sister... | October 2003, Bana will turn 2 years old soon. She befriends Jacqueline, the "batouré" (the white) who has come to train a laboratory assistant in medical test. She leaves the group of the other orphans to give her a cuddle...". Continued in the book "mon coeur resté à Péréré"( "I left my heart in Péréré") (in french only) |
Bana is a little orphan who was brought up in the Péréré orphanage,
