[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The inner kraal made of thorny branches on the left is for livestock, another circle of thorns is outside the huts or bomas. The bomas are constructed of sticks, grass and cow dung. There is no smell even inside. The bomas have an entranceway designed to keep out most strong winds, a very small cooking area for bad weather and 2 bedrooms. One bedroom is for the husband and the other hardly bigger, for his wife and children. The whole boma measures roughly 4x5 metres.

Hi Vic,great capture of the daily lifestyle of these people
I guess it changes your thinking about your own lifestyle when
visiting this part of the world & see how much they do without.

Thanks

Nice image Vic. Great colour and clarity. Pin-sharp (as ever) and let's just hope these kids aren;t affected by the atrocities over there at the moment. Kind regards, Paul.

Hi Vic
Great to see a daily life scene of a country that I will probably never get a chance to visit. Very colourful with the children. Good informative note. TFS
