In 1986, 600 orphaned children from Burkina Faso were sent to Cuba with the mission of learning a trade so they could come back and develop their country in the midst of a revolution. But after the assassination of Burkinabe president Thomas SANKARA in 1987, the liquidation of the Revolution by Blaise COMPAORE and the end of the cold War, how to come back, to build themselves, to exist?
