Quick summary of the family for future reference:
Khadija - single mother with five young sons. She has lived in a refugee camp in Kenya for the last 9 years.
Ali - eldest son, 15 years old. Just started high school last week. Speaks a little English.
Mohammed - 9 years old.
Hassan - 7 years old.
Noor - 3 or 4, we think.
Abdi - the baby. Probably around 1.
Ali, Mohammed and Hassan have all started school; Noor and Abdi are at home with Khadija, who is also attending English class in the mornings. They all live in an apartment on Sawyer, near Foster and Kedzie.
Also, a really interesting link on Bantu culture . If you scroll down to the section on medical practices, you'll see it says something about burning small holes in the skins to cure various illnesses. I wonder if that's the source of the marks we noticed today on Mohammed?
