Miscellaneous Items of Interest at Kakuma Town

These young boys, unlike their elders, didn't mind getting photographed!
The one fellow is selling "groundnuts" (peanuts)
in the cones of recycled paper.
Kim and I bought some from him.



The above 2 photos are of dung beetles.
Dung beetles feed partly or exclusively on feces.
Many, known as rollers, are noted for rolling dung into spherical balls (with their hind legs), which are used as a food source or brooding chambers.


These young lads are selling hard-boiled eggs.
We bought some from them on two occasions.
Many children in Kenya do not attend school, because of child-labor.


An interesting contrast of construction styles.
The structure in the foreground is someone's home
and is made out of sticks and odd pieces of cardboard, plastic, etc.
The other building is some sort of church, still under construction.
