His mother spends her days working at the market, leaving Kimaru in charge of the household. He can't even go to school, because there is no money for tuition. Kimaru knows that without an education he can never achieve his dream. He decides to take fate into his own hands and sell eggs to earn money for his schooling. However, caring for chickens is not simple. Will Kimaru succeed in earning money for tuition and a new school uniform? (One World)
