Nihad Fafulovi е is one of the many people who lead a life that is often taken as an example when describing the life of the Roma - survival from day to day.

Nihad is the father of ten children. They live in the village of Gornji Papartnici near Kakanj in Bosnia. Exclusively with their work where the whole family participates, from the youngest Aydina who is 6 years old to her father Nihad, everyone is engaged to be able to provide basic and only food for life.

- I do this village work I have never worked in any company. I was also registered with the employment agency and they always said "we will call you, wait" - says Nihad. In this village they are one of the two Roma families living in very inhumane conditions. Nihad and his family live in his grandfather's house, which began construction in the 1990s and is still unfinished.

- I work with a horse in a primitive way. People have tractors, machines, and I do it all with a horse. Sometimes some of the villagers will call me and my horse to dig rows for planting potatoes and I do that when I have to.

 Nihad also served 6 months in prison in Busovaca for illegal logging, which he did to feed his family.

  The mother and his minor children were left without a breadwinner when he went to prison, and the modest child allowance did not meet the needs of this poor family in the slightest. He kept the food he received in prison and carried it on weekends when he came home to feed his children.
