Saleem (top image) works, lives and plays at the Karachi National Training Ground. He only just started working for the Karachi Flames coaches, he does not know his age but we estimate he is about 13. Technically he is a servant providing for the coaches needs, the connotations of a servant resonate images of someone being mistreated but Saleem enjoys his job and has a lot of respect for the coaches. Saleem lives his life day to day unaware of the political and violent problems in Karachi. He spends his day watching middle class kids train for tournaments all around Pakistan, although he is of a similar age to the players of Karachi Flames he never plays with or socialises with the team, he will rarely leave the confides of the football ground content with living a simple life and proud to be earning his on way.
