Thousands of children around the world are viewed as surplus populations, not only in an economic sense, but in a social and political sense too. They hail from different countries, but many of them congregate in states like Morocco.

Yet they exist and persevere and find ways of navigating their hostile terrains; they survive somehow, they stake their claims.
