Talibes, or religious students, pause to listen to their teacher between reading verses from the Koran at an Islamic school in Thies, Senegal, on Tuesday, Sept. 24. The students beg on the streets, collecting alms for a marabout, or religious leader, in return for food, accommodation and religious lessons as part of Senegal's Mouride sect of Islam.
