A couple of the neighborhood kids….. incredibly innocent and shy…. And friendly.

Guy and the village elder standing outside of his house shortly before our “tour” of it.
Image
The straw, mud, and dung hut belonging to the village elder (who is about 30!). We were privileged to receive a guided tour of his 3-tiny-room house.
Image
The elder sitting on his bed where he sleeps with his wife when he is present (not with another wife or tending cattle). Very simple, small, straw matting and some skins. When he is not present, other unwed males in the village may share the bed…..
Image
The “passageway” from the Master’s bedroom to the kitchen and kid’s bedroom. The passageway also went to the door. It was about 2 1/2 feet wide, fine feet high, built of straw wattle and dung. Hard for any unwelcome visitor to pass….
Image
The kid’s bedroom about 4 feet by 6 feet for all three kids. Literally, a bed-room, Bunny and the village elder are sitting in the small passageway between the kid’s room and the kitchen where Guy is standing, sort of (the ceiling is about 5 ½ feet high)…..
Image
The spacious kitchen… about 6 feet square for a couple of pots, open fire, and no chimney but rather a hole out the side almost at ground level….. perhaps for a better cross draft?
Image
Building a fire the old fashioned way…. Give thanks for matches, pilot lights, and flashlights/torches……

Check out the earwear on this handsome young man…. He was among the 11 men who participated in the negotiations described below.
