Family Future?

Forty five young men, hope for their families' future.  A frail wooden boat leaving the deserts of Mauritania for new green pastures.
A slight swell, forty five fighting for survival.  Forty five families arranging prayers and handing out cola nuts. Forty five more, ripe with hope.  Another frail wooden boat.
 

This story was inspired by the death of a friend's brother trying desparately to find a way of helping his family out of poverty.
