This truly was an interesting sight! When a family needs to move to a different area to hunt for water or pasture, they simply pack up their house and store it in a tree! This isn't the best picture, but I think you can see the yellow bundle. That's their house. The houses are primarily constructed of sticks. The vast majority had a bright yellow plastic tarp over the top for keeping the rain out (if and when it ever rains). Apparently some relief organization provides the yellow plastic.
This is a village of such stick "manyatta" houses.
Notice the bundle in the tree. That's another house awaiting the return of the owners. Interesting, huh?
And... another shot of a village of plastic-yellow-tarped stick manyattas.

Deb,
Thanks for sharing more pictures and journaling of your trips. What a lot of traveling you have done! I am feeling so sad about the church compound that was destroyed. Duane is adorable! Hard to believe he is already two.
Karo's family picture is so special.
Marge
