In a Parisian suburb, 18-year old Emre is juggling school and his own farm

Before and after school, 18-year old Emre looks after around fifty animals on a farm just outside his local district in Villiers-le-Bel (95), in Parisian suburbs. Every day, he alternates between his life as a high-school student and raising his donkey, chickens and sheep. Our partners at @streetpress followed him for a day.
