By Misha Hussain GOUDEBOU, Burkina Faso (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - T en-year-old Atahib goes to school in the Goudebou refugee camp in the savannah of Burkina Faso, not hoping to become a teacher or a doctor like his classmates.

His masters fled to Burkina Faso after a rebellion erupted in their home, northern Mali, two years ago. via Health News Headlines - Yahoo News Read More Here..
